The "Family Cookbook: Recipes from Marines, Families and Friends" is now in its fourth printing in just one year! Gladys Rodriguez single handedly conceived the idea and saw it to fruition- and to date has given over $25,000 to the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund. This is an amazing woman - an immigrant from Cuba who has no connection to the Marine Corps other than "a love and gratitude for this country that opened its arms to our family when we arrived in 1970.” We are so grateful that she is a part of our USMC family, now!!!
This is something that we can all get behind! http://bizmonthly.com/9_2010/9.shtml

President's "Post" September 2010
Welcome to MAOSC!
The Marine Aviation Officers' Spouses' Club was founded in 1949 in the National Capitol Region as a social club to allow spouses from the aviation community to meet together and form new friendships and renew old acquaintances. The club has continued this tradition for the past 61 years and enjoys a history filled with memorable luncheons, volunteer opportunites, and friendships.
If you are a part of the aviation community (aviators, ordinance, logisitics, etc), we invite you to join us. A membership form and calendar of events are posted on the website/blog.
We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to the MAOSC family.
Sincerely,
Liz Barnes
MAOSC President

GIFT IDEA!! Semper Fi Fund Cookbook
Our very own member, Gladys Rodriguez, originally from Cuba, wanted to give back to her adopted country by supporting our wounded Marines through the Semper Fi Fund. The second cookbook, Recipes from Across the World, was published in 2014 and is a great gift idea for friends, family, teachers or anyone else! Each cookbook costs $10 and will be available at MASC's November and December luncheons. To date, over $70,000 has been raised (including funds matched by GoDaddy.com). This cookbook would not have been possible without the valuable help of countless Marines’ family members and supporters including MASC members Paula Rybka, Carol Kuginski, Emily Sanborn and Gladys. Buy yours today!
