In celebration of the United States' Semiquincentennial, your HSC Board is proposing a special dues schedule for the 2026-2027 board year. For one year only, all members, all ranks will pay only $2.50 for the annual dues if this proposal is passed by a vote of the general membership. The board year is from 1 June 2026 until 31 May 2027. Currently, depending on the rank of the sponsor, members pay from $20 to $50 for yearly dues. Voting will take place 29 May at the End of Year Social and Board Induction. Results will be announced at the event. If affirmed, the dues amount for the upcoming year will commence beginning 1 June 2026.

All returning members must pay dues no later than 30 September each year to remain a member in good standing and to continue to be eligible to attend events and activities. Regardless of when dues were paid in the current board year, dues become payable each year for the new board year beginning 1 June of the year.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Member Appreciation Night and voted on our slate of nominees for the upcoming board year! By a unanimous vote of the general membership present, the nominees were affirmed. Congratulations to all! Each will begin her term starting 1 June 2026 and conclude 31 May 2027. As you can see, we are still recruiting a 2nd Vice President. We also have numerous vacancies on our General Board to include Membership Chairperson, Helping Hands Chairperson, Scholarship Committee Chairperson, Fundraising Chairperson, Ways & Means Chairperson, as well as multiple opportunities to be a part of a committee.

Hurlburt Field Spouses’ Club is excited to announce that we are seeking a dedicated volunteer to lead our annual Scholarship Program—one of the most meaningful contributions we make to our military community! Are you the one we are missing on our board? We need you today!

As Scholarship Chair, you will:
• Oversee the HFSC Scholarship Program
• Coordinate applications and the review committee
• Communicate with students, families, and local partners
• Help award scholarships to deserving dependents and spouses
• Make a lasting impact on our community!

2025 was a busy year for the HSC. We have accomplished a lot, but didn't do it alone. We have had support from many volunteers and community organizations throughout the year. One of the hardest working teams on Hurlburt Field is our thrift shop team. We have several volunteers who dedicate their time every week to assist our staff in ensuring donations are sorted and organized, the store is tidy, and customers are assisted in purchasing their next treasure. The base's military organizations, such as the Hurlburt Field Chiefs Group, Hurlburt Field First Sergeant Council, Hurlburt 5/6, Hurlburt Airman's Voice, the Air Force Sergeants Association, and others, have partnered with us throughout the year to support airmen and military families. Our amazing volunteers, especially our board members, have worked to create a supportive environment for military spouses through programs and events that allow fellowship and fun! We wrapped up the year with our annual Commando Cookie Drive. We'd like to say a special thanks to the American Heritage Girls Troop 0077 from Crestview for collecting candy and baking cookies! We would also like to thank the USO Northwest Florida for turning its cookie drive into a huge asset for our Commando Cookie Drive by collecting, packaging, and delivering a tub full of cookies. Not only did we have these community organizations supporting our efforts, but we also had military units that stepped up and brought in tons of cookies and candy. And finally, you, our amazing military community, have continued to support us by donating to and shopping at the thrift shop, donating items for our community when we solicit for support, and by simply following and interacting with our website and social media platforms to encourage us to continue to give back to our community. Thank you all for your continued support!

Thank you all for your support for the 2025 Commando Cookie Drive! We had over 6000 cookies, more than 5000 pieces of candy, and a little over 600 candy canes, which all combined allowed us to pack more than 600 treat bags for our dorm residents. This wasn't quite as much as our goal, but it was plenty to create a nice little bag of sweet treats to help us brighten the day for these young airmen. Thank you to everyone who baked, donated, volunteered, or supported in any way! See you again in 2026!
