Great time to donate blood if you can!
Greetings WSOSC Members!
Well, here we are with one month down in the year 2013 already. Even with a
week off of school and a few other days off here and there, I know I am ready for
some serious R&R. As some of you may know, I went from working very part-
time this school year to VERY full-time and then some so, needless to say, my
life is a constant state of stress. This is why I am so excited about our February
General Membership Meeting! We have a team of health educators from Naval
Hospital Bremerton lined up to present stations which will educate us on:
fitness, healthy eating and a relaxation station. Whether you are like me and
need to learn how to slow down and relax or need a little boost with your New
Year’s Resolution to get in shape and eat healthier, this is one meeting you
don’t want to miss! As always, we encourage you to bring along a spouse who
may be new to the area/your command.
Hope to see you there!
Warm regards,
Stacey Tucker,
WSOSC President

Lunch Club Coordinator
Amy Ott will be leaving us in March,
so we are looking for someone to
step into her shoes as Lunch Club
Coordinator. This is a great opportunity to get a little
more involved without a huge time commitment.
Please contact us at [email protected] if interested.
Did You Know…? Approximately 150 million Valentine's Day cards are exchanged annually,
making Valentine's Day the second most popular card-sending holiday after Christmas.
Or that more than 40,000 American are employed at chocolate companies?
February has long been celebrated as a month of romance, and that St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains
vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.
Happy Valentine’s Day

COOK’S CORNER
Mexican Lasagna
Super Foods
1. Herbs and spices have a high level of antioxidants, which are proven immune boosters. Oregano in particular is mentioned because it has special antimicrobial
properties: oregano leaves are often used as a wrap for food to help prevent spoilage. 2. Peppers - Red bell peppers have twice the amount of vitamin C per gram as many of
the vitamin C-containing fruits. Despite some criticism of vitamin C’s cold fighting properties, it’s been proven to diminish the severity and duration of colds.
Hot peppers contain capsaicin - the compound responsible for making your nose run and clearing your sinuses.
3. Garlic - Crushed garlic contains a chemical called allicin - an antibiotic and decongestant. Unfortunately, this chemical is broken down during cooking, so for the best
results your garlic should be eaten raw or added to food right before serving. 4. Seafood - Once again it’s the antioxidants in seafood that help boost immune system
function. Omega 3 fatty acids are powerful flu fighters and anti-inflammatory. 5. Yogurt - Though you should never eat dairy during bouts of vomiting, yogurt
promotes healthy bacteria growth in your stomach. This is good news because over 70 percent of your body's immune function comes from the digestive tract.
6 . Chocolate - A dark chocolate with no less than 70 percent cocoa contains theobromine - a cough suppressant. In fact, two ounces of dark chocolate will deliver the same results as your typical dose of cough medicine!

Spread the word . . . Please spread the word to oth-er spouses about WSOSC. Feel free to forward information to new spouses or those that may not have heard of us yet. Our
most powerful marketing tool is our members! You just never know the con-nections that can be made on a hike or at a lunch. Sometimes it’s the spouse that you least expect that may need a hand – by connecting with each other socially, we build bonds and create opportunities to look out for each other and lend that helping hand when it’s needed. So, let’s not keep this club a secret – help us get the word out!
