OSOAMIL showers are 100% participation. If you have been invited to attend an event or placed on an event wait-list, NO CHANGES will be made
to that placement, unless made by OSOAMIL Staff. If you request to be moved to a different event,
you will be removed from the shower lists and that will be considered as declining the invitation. Our lists fill very quickly and families are placed into events or on wait-lists based on the
information THEY have provided to us. If you or your spouse are unable to attend you forfeit any donations that may be offered at the
event. In addition, our events start promptly at the time given, please be sure to read all
information found on the Evite.

If you are late for the event you will forfeit any participation and donations offered at the event.

to make it, you can send a friend with a letter and copy of your military ID and they may pick up
