Membership Information
What is the MOSCDC?
The MOSCDC is primarily a social group of Marine Corps spouses. We encourage and welcome spouses of other U.S. Military officers to join us. We do some charitable work, but most of our events are focused on socializing with other military spouses and touring local D.C. area attractions.
What sort of events does the MOSCDC host?
Some of our past events include a tour of the White House, Mt. Vernon, the National Cathedral, various international embassies, and the U. S. Naval Academy just to name a few. Most of our events are during the week and include a catered lunch.
Each fall we host a Welcome Aboard Luncheon at the home of the Commandant and we invite all Marine Corps spouses to attend and join our club.
Once a year, we help host the Joint Armed Forces Officers (JAFOWL) Wives’ Luncheon. This is a very popular event and all MOSCDC members are invited. Some of the past speakers at the JAFOWL have been President Bush, General Peter Pace, Mrs. Lynne Cheney, and Mrs. Michelle Obama.
Do I have to be a member to attend MOSCDC events?
Many of our events are exclusively for MOSCDC members. Some events allow members to bring guests.
The fall Welcome Aboard Luncheon is open to all Marine Corps Spouses. We use this event to reach new Marine Corps spouses in the area. We sincerely hope you attend and join!
The MOSCDC is a wonderful way for you to get out and experience the sights of D.C. with other Marine Corps Spouses. Your $25 membership fee helps keep the club operating. We maintain a website (www.moscdc.org), distribute a newsletter, and publish a yearly membership directory. We also donate funds to military affiliated charities.
Do you need volunteers?
Yes, there are five (5) elected board positions and thirteen (13) appointed board positions. Each year we are always looking for volunteers.
