About your Grand Forks Spouses' Club
About Us
The Grand Forks Spouses' Club is a unique blend of active duty spouses who promote unity, friendship, and camaraderie among our members.
We are committed and dedicated to providing charitable services within the area, while maintaining a solid foundation of encouragement and strength for all spouses who support our heroes and our home front.
The success of our club is due in part to the diversity of our membership. The wisdom and strength of those familiar with the military life is combined with the energy and fresh ideas of spouses new to the military, creating an atmosphere unlike any other.
Social Meetings
We have monthly social meetings September through May. For meeting time, location, and agenda, please consult our Facebook Group.
Our meetings are casual and entertaining. We may play games, share ideas, learn a new skill; but more importantly, we strive to improve our lives and as well as those around us. Therefore, we will on occasion invite a guest speaker to brief us on important topics that affect our everyday lives. Please check out the "Spot Light Month" tab to find out what the next months topic & events is. We hope to see you there!
Dues are expected upon the second time you attend a meeting. Dues are based on your spouse's years in service. We will pro-rate dues for in the event of your families PCS. If you would like to print a membership form, fill it out and bring it to a meeting, please see our Membership page by clicking "Membership" above to download a form to print.
