OSC Activities
Chicks4Flicks
This is a movie club where members know the selection of the month will most likely be a romantic comedy, but not exclusive to them…hence the play on words referring to these kinds of movies being “chic flicks”. We are not exclusive, so if you would like to bring your spouse, best friend, mom or daughter we’d love to see you there!
This group will meet on Saturday night around the 7pm showing with the option to meet before hand for dinner or after for dessert & reviews. The week of the month might change depending on release dates of the “best” option that month. We will be meeting at the Regal 20 Fairfield Commons Theaters. This location is hopefully centrally located to ALL our OSC members, but also reduces the chance of seating being “sold out” therefore accommodating our large group! (Don’t forget to ask for your military discount or use your Entertainment coupon!!!)
PLEASE RSVP to this group so via e-mail to WPOSCchicks4flicks@gmail.com so I can give you the EXACT show time that we will be attending.
Bunco
Date to Play: 1st Monday of each month unless it falls on a holiday.
Cost: $7.00
Time: 7:00pm
Location: Thrift Shop Annex Building 1083
Contact person: Linda Tallent email wposcbunco@yahoo.com
Bunco is a game of dice, played in rounds. Players take turns rolling the dice and trying to accumulate as many points as possible to win each round. The game is played at tables of four in competing teams of two.
Players score points by rolling three dice and trying to match the number they’re supposed to roll for that round. They get a point for each die that rolls the number, and if all three roll the number they score 21 points. They also score 5 points for rolling three of a kind of any other number. Players keep rolling as long as they score one or more points with each roll. Once they fail to score they pass the dice to their left and the opposing team gets a chance to score.
During each round the teams at the Head Table try to score 21 points. The first team to score 21 points wins the round and play stops. At all other tables play stops when the Head Table play stops and the team with the highest score at each lower table wins the round.
At the end of the round players change seats, the winners at each of the lower tables move up a table, and the losers at the head table move to the lowest table. Players also switch partners at the end of the round, so you never play with the same partner twice in a row.
During play, players track the number of rounds they win and lose as a team, and the number of Buncos scored individually, on their personal scorecard. At the end of the night wins/losses and Buncos are tallied and prizes awarded.

Antiques Societé
The Antiques Societé meets the 4th Friday of the month in the Wright-Patterson Club for a luncheon and program. Our speakers are always so knowledgeable and interesting and versed in such a wide array of subjects. In the fall and spring we take a tour to a historic place and end the day antique shopping. In December we invite all OSC members to enter a display in our popular ‘decorating for the holidays with antiques’ judged program. We give beautiful antique door prizes each month.
Skylarks
The Skylarks are currently looking for a director, and accompanist. Without them, we can’t “tweet-tweet” the way we would like! Hopefully a new one will “fly” into Dayton and we can share our songs again!
Brush and Palette
Brush and Palette is a group of artists who like to get together and create. We all have different strengths and love helping each other create beautiful art. If are an artist, or even have an interest in art, come and make something beautiful with us!
Bridge
Bridge is a card game of skill and chance. It has been played for ages and we here at the WPOSC are keeping the tradition alive. We have 2 bridge groups that meet once a month to play and socialize. We always welcome new players!
Evening Couples Dinner Group
Meets the 2nd Saturday of each month. The EVENING COUPLES DINNER GROUP is for both active duty and retired folks who enjoy getting together for a great meal and good conversation. Everything one needs to prepare and enjoy a meal is inside Bldg 1083. Our main format is a directed pot-luck dinner. Two host couples pick the type of food and prepare the entrée. The other couples are assigned to prepare a dish (appetizer, soup, salad, vegetable, or dessert) to complement the main course. The dinners are BYOB (bring your own beverage.) The host couples also set up Bldg 1083 to prepare for the evening. The group may also choose to go out to a restaurant or anything else the host couples decide to do. The most important thing is the member couples share delicious food and make lasting, warm friendships. See The Wright Word or contact the Activities Chair for more information.
