Description
The American Forces' Spouses' club(AFSC) is a combined community spouses' organization that operates in Yongsan Korea. The focus of our group is two-fold. First, our group strives to enhance the lives of the spouses stationed here at Yongsan as well as elsewhere on the peninsula. We do this through monthly luncheons hosted by AFSC. Activities planned throughout the year include shopping trips to local markets, educational opportunities, and cultural activities. Annual events that are sponsored by AFSC include the Tour of Homes, USO Six Star Salute, and a Senior Tea for graduating high school seniors. Secondly, the AFSC works to support both the Korean and American communities in which we live. Financial support is provided to any local organization which demonstrates a need. The Chosun Gift Shop is the main fundraiser for the AFSC. Run by volunteers, it is open Wednedsay and Saturday. The Chosun offers a wide variety of items from throughout the Far East such as jewelry, linens, furniture, and rugs. The profits raised from the Chosun are donated to both Korean and American projects. Korean orphanages and homes for the elderly and disabled are our direct beneficiaries.
