L.I.N.K.S. SPOUSES MEET-UP
Tue, 2 Apr, 1000-1100, BPAC HP Classroom
Our group is open to all Military Spouses. Come out
and meet other spouses who share common interests,
are new to the installation, are looking for a great group
to hang out with or just have a love for all things coffee
or tea. Our group’s main purpose is to enjoy our events,
whether it is coffee+ L.I.N.K.S., special guest speakers
or a special day away from the installation. We’ve
found that being a part of the L.I.N.K.S. meet-up group
helps those connect better with other military spouses
without any barriers.
