***image1***The Ramstein Officers’ Spouses Club is hosting the 43rd annual Ramstein Welfare Bazaar now through Sunday. Hop in your car and follow the event signs to the flight line for the best shopping this side of the Alps. Do some early Christmas shopping, have a few schwenk steaks or heck, even treat yourself to that special piece of jewelry. And remember, all this shopping benefits the KMC. So when hubby asks what all the bags are, you can say with pride, “I have been supporting our community, dear.”
Emmy Marchioni, this year’s chairwoman, invites everyone out to support the KMC. She sat down and chatted with the KA a bit before the big event:
