Strengthening Andersen's community and families.

The Andersen Enlisted Spouses’ Club (AESC) is a not-for-profit organization comprised of a wonderful group of spouses. We come from all walks of life and we each have our own individual talents, skills, abilities and interests.

The club is a charitable and social organization. We are here to support our fellow spouses and their families.

Have you recently arrived to Andersen AFB? Let the AESC make your transition a smooth one. We have a very dedicated group of spouses that are available to help you. If there is anything you need help with, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are willing to assist in any way that we can.

We understand what it's like to be in your shoes and we have committed ourselves to helping each new spouse feel welcome. We are also committed to providing you and your families with a support network that you can count on.

Would you like to meet other enlisted spouses? Have you been on island for a while but you have not had the chance to meet other spouses and build personal relationships. We encourage you to come to a meeting so that you have the opportunity to meet other spouses and create a strong support system.

Are you looking for something to do that's worthwhile? The AESC is an organization that contributes to the community. We provide continuing education scholarships to enlisted spouses and we support several community service programs.

Come check us out. We meet several times each month. Please take a look at our calendar for upcoming meetings and events or contact us at ESCAndersen@yahoo.com for more information.

Membership is open to all spouses (male or female) of enlisted active duty, reserve, national guard, retired members, as well as spouses of civilian equivalents.

Membership dues are $2.00 per month or $24.00 per year. The membership dues are used to offset activity expenses. Your first meeting or activity is free.

If you would like to become a member, you may request an application at any meeting or contact us at ESCAndersen@yahoo.com. Completed membership applications and dues may be submitted at any AESC function.

The AESC has enjoys being able to contribute to various base and community activities and organizations. Membership dues and fundraisers assist us in donating to deserving causes. Our members have donated countless hours supporting fundraising events so that we can make a positive impact in the community.
