Welcome to the Camp Lejeune Officers’ Wives’ Club Website. We all share in the excited anticipation for this year. The Camp Lejeune OWC is a non-profit organization established in 1948 to create a sense of fellowship and desire to give back through fundraising activities among military spouses. It’s also just a wonderful place to see old and meet new friends!
Our organization has fundraising events to support charitable concerns such as American Red Cross, Navy/Marine Corps Relief Society, and the USO. Hidden Talents, our consignment craft shop, provides money for scholarships. We also provide the Paradise Point Child Care Center. The Camp Lejeune OWC is divided into five groups based on the sponsor’s assignment: Base, II MEF, 2d Marine Division, 2d MLG, and MARSOC. Each Group Board sponsors one OWC social function during the year. Group Boards are subdivided into Coffee Groups which are open to all officers’ spouses regardless of OWC membership.
