The benefits of MSSCA membership are numerous. We "get" camaraderie with other physician spouses who understand, lifelong friendships, interesting programs that entertain and educate, legislative information, and our monthly newsletter the "Alliance Advocate"....just to name a few. Far more valuable are the opportunities for us to GIVE via MSSCA. Why is giving so significant? Most importantly, when we give we are helping others and they benefit. People who give of themselves are happier, healthier, and have a greater self-worth. When we give, we are positive role models for the youth in our lives. Our giving improves the medical well-being of the community. By giving, we support our physician spouses.

How can we give via MSSCA? We can give of our time and skills by joining committees, working on projects, and being an office/committee chair. We can respond to SAVE request for toiletries, socks, pillows, chocolates on Valentine's Day, etc. to be distributed to the Women's Shelters. We can give by communicating with our legislators. We can participate in stream clean ups with the Environmental Concerns Committee. We can purchase tickets fore Opportunity Drawings at the monthly meetings which this year will be donated to the YWCA Women Crisis Center.
