MSC Scholarships
| The MSC Scholarships are available for applicants to fill out. They are available at area schools, the base library and educational office as well as on our website in PDF form here MSC Scholarship Application Form. We had worked hard to get them ready and your have worked hard to help earn the funds needed to give these scholarships. For more information about the scholarship, please contact our Scholarship Chair. |
It has been brought to our consideration that we hold the MSC meetings at The Moody Field Club. The club can offer a place for childcare during our
meetings, a microphone system, set up, clean up, etc. The meal ideas they gave us were $6-$8 for a soup/salad bar, sandwich, or pasta bar. $2 off
if you are a club member. There would also be cookies and brownies ranging from $.50 to $1.95. Iced Tea would also be provided. The bar is open
and to be used at your discretion, please don’t drink and drive, we care about you and don’t want anything to happen! You do not have to eat at the
club to come to our meetings. It would be similar to what we do now. A social time to eat from 6:00pm-6:30pm with the meeting starting at 6:30. You
are more than welcome to come socialize and stay for the meeting without paying for/eating food. It has also come up that we could do this once a
quarter, having the meetings at the chapel on the other meeting dates. With meetings at the Club, you would need to make reservations that you are
attending the meeting if you plan to eat so we can give them a final count on how much food to make. You would have to let us know the day before
the meeting if you are attending and you can cancel your reservation within 24 hours.
But we want to hear your opinions on this. This is your club and we want to enjoy your time. Please let us know what you think. Email us or fill out the
form below to send your opinion anonymously. Thank you for your support!

Holding MSC Meetings at the Club
National Military Spouses Day ~ May 9th
| May 9th is National Military Spouse Appreciation Day and Moody AFB wants to know what you want to do! This is our day! They want to thank us for the support we give our spouses and living the life of a military spouse. Think of it as the 23d Wing throwing us a party. So that being said, what would you like? Would you like to take tours of what your spouse does? Have speakers come in? Spa day? Send us your ideas and we will do our best to make it happen! The MSC is going to work with the base to get you what you want on your special day, so give us some ideas to propose to them. Email us and let us know what you think! |
Azalea Festival
| The EMS spouses have put together an exercise group. They meet Mondays and Fridays at 0900 at the Fitness Center to spin and Wednesdays and Sundays to run/walk at VMS track. If you would like more info, contact the spin instructor, Sandra Naglack, for the group. http://www.freewebs.com/mafbspinningspouses/ They also are trying to get together a childcare co-op. So for those with children not in school they won't have to pay for a babysitter using this method. |
| The MSC is interested in having a booth at this years Azalea Festival in downtown Valdosta. Last year it brought in over 35,000 people. We would like to have information about the MSC, and possibly sell water, baked goods and decals. But we would need your help! We need help with supplying the baked goods, water and helping out to man the booths. We would probably need 2-3 people at a time and working 2-3 hour shifts. The festival is March 15th and 16th from 10am - 5pm. If you can help in any way, please email us and let us know! This would be a great opportunity to the club. We would be donating 5% of our sales to The Air Force Aid Society and 5% to the Air Force Enlisted Village Indigent Widows' Fund. The rest would go into our club Operational Fund. |
