the Gold Leaf Lorem Ipsum A Publication of the Fort Knox Spouses and Community Club PRESIDENTS NOTES Welcome to the 2017-2018 FKSCC Club Year [Date] I am excited to serve as your President and to work with all of you to make this a fabulous year. The Fort Knox Spouses and Community Club is a great organization filled with awesome men and women whom it is my privilege to serve. I would also like to thank the Board of Governors and Executive Board for their commitment and dedication. We have a great year planned. We are already gearing up for our first major fundraiser of the year, the Holiday Bazaar. Vendor spots are still available and we are looking for volunteers to help make the event run smoothly. Our luncheons this year promise to be fun and a great time to get together with friends. Our first luncheon, Oktoberfest, will be September 12 at the Saber & Quill. I look forward to seeing you there. We will have a change of date for our October luncheon, which will be held on October 17, the third Tuesday of the month, due to scheduling issues. Our Sub Clubs are up and running. Check out the wonderful opportunities coming up with something for everyone! CHRISTINE SIMMONS, 2017-18 PRESIDENT FKSCC
