ay sayonara to 2017 with a New Year’s Eve event at MCCS Clubs! This year, MCCS has a wonderful roundup chock-full of snazzy soirees going down at your nearest club. All events are geared towards adults, so partygoers must be at least 18 to attend. If you’re on Camp Foster, hit the Ocean Breeze where both Chesty’s and the Globe & Anchor encourage you to get glammed up for an evening of dancing and champagne toasts. Or, party to the pangs of New Year’s nostalgia with an ‘80s party hosted by the Butler Officers’ Club. If you’d rather indulge in hors d’oeuvres and giveaways, get to BeachHead on Camp Schwab before the clock strikes midnight, or countdown on Camp Courtney at either the Bayview Enlisted Club or Hashmarks SNCO Lounge. You can also celebrate at
inside
The Palms on Camp Hansen. Both the SNCO and Enlisted Lounges will be open that night where you can delight in hot and cold food stations, music and giveaways. On MCAS Futenma, Thirsty’s will be putting out FREE finger foods for all to enjoy while a DJ rocks the house, and the Habu Pit SNCO Lounge will be open for an evening of food, prizes and champagne. Last but not least, Camp Kinser Surfside Harbor Lounge will, too, be open for complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a midnight champagne toast. With 2018 fast approaching, don’t forget to make your arrangements for a New Year’s Eve filled with absolute revelry! For details or more information, call the nearest participating club or visit mccsokinawa.com/clubs.

The tournament will kick off January 10 at the Camp Foster Fieldhouse and will continue through January 15. (cont. on page 3)
