A Message From the President This is my favorite time of year. The colors, the cooler temperatures, the Fests, the travel. Such amazing op-portunities we are given here! Even if you aren’t a traveler, just the visual aspect of Germany in the fall is so wonderful. Get out there and enjoy it!
There is so much coming your way from SCSC it’s hard to figure out where to start! First, we have BUNCO!!!! I am a definite “loser” when it comes to Bunco. If just never happens for me. But I still love playing it. Our October event will feature Bunco is always sells out! Be sure to get your reservations in early for this one. We will have amazing prizes, raffles, and a fully reloaded Ways and Means area. This event will be at the Swabian. We will also have Fest Tables for sale. So bring your checkbook and get a piece of Stuttgart to cher-ish for years.
We had our first Bizarre Road Trip in September – what a blast. I had so much fun and heard from others that they did as well. Coming in October, we have a Trips and Tours to Würzburg. A day trip with fun, adven-ture, friends, and food. Also wine….can’t forget the wine! Be sure to look for this sign up the first week of October as well. This one will also sell out so be quick!
Halloween costumes will be on display at the Thrift Shop starting October 10. It’s always a bit of a frenzy on this day – great deals for all. If you are able to come volunteer this day, please do – we will need your help.
Be sure to save the date for THRIFTMAS. This amazing holiday event that we save donations for ALL YEAR will be on Thursday, Nov 29 – Saturday, Dec 1. We will have a sign up list for volunteers at this event coming in November.
If you are new to the community, or have been around for a while, it’s a great year to get involved. We have numerous volunteer opportunities from low-maintenance to in-depth. We have great activities that you can attend as well. So don’t miss out. If you are interested and don’t know where to start, fell free to email me directly at [email protected] and I will help you out personally.
If you are a member and haven’t yet joined the Closed SCSC Facebook page, search for: Stuttgart Communi-ty Spouses' Club (SCSC). Notice the parenthesis around the SCSC. We have two pages, the one without pa-renthesis is open to all, the one with parenthesis is only for members. Join us there for posts and infor-mation you won’t see elsewhere!
Looking forward to seeing you at Bunco or another one of our many events throughout October!
