Assisted in organizing 90 spouses on a daily/monthly/ quarterly and yearly basis. My husband was the commander of the squadron and I assisted with the wives. We would have monthly outings that I organized to surrounding areas (beaches, water activities, culture events, and local attractions), monthly meetings that I would lead, a daily running club, and bi monthly cooking classes.
