Membership

BOWC_logo_1.jpgDo you want to make new friends?
Do you want to share the challenges and joys of being a military wife?
Do you want to get involved in our community?
Do you want to have some fun?

Then you want to join Belvoir OWC.

The Belvoir Officer’s Wives’ Club welcomes the wives of officers of all services, whether active duty, retired, or reserve or National Guard. Join us to meet new friends, enjoy informative programs, and work together for our military community.

Our membership is growing, thanks to many of you who continue to invite others to join the Belvoir Officers Wives Club. And it's not too late, Membership dues are just $12.50 after January. We currently have more than 165 members! But don't stop, you can help BOWC grow! Invite someone to a luncheon and when she joins the BOWC, you will both be entered into the monthly incentive drawing. Your name will also be put into the end of year competition for the member who brings in the most members to the BOWC. When you invite a friend, we all win!
