Yeah back then as an officer's wife we were expected to be very supportive our our husband's careers. So besides the typical luncheons, teas, coffees, etc. we had to attend we were supposed to be visible in the military community. So volunteering with Army Community Service, Red Cross, Crisis Support, doing bake sales, etc. was expected. And if we sat on the boards of those organizations, extra brownie points for our husband's career! It was the time after "If the Army wanted you to have a wife, they would have issued you one!" They discovered the wives and decided they could put us to work. I don't think they do that stuff anymore, though.
