Frequently Asked Questions

What do my dues cover?

A.   Your annual dues allow you to participate in the club as a member and in the main events of the PHOSC year. They also allow you to join as many interests groups you'd like. Interest groups may include an additional fee depending on the type of event (i.e. crafting event, cultural tour, restaurant meetup). Specific details will be posted with each event invitation prior to sign up. Dues also cover website fees, taxes, & various club operating expenses.

How do I find out about club events?

A.   The best place to stay connected with PHOSC events and activities is through our Facebook groups.  Any member can plan an activity.  Most events will also be listed on the calendar section of the PHOSC website, however an event registration process may vary depending on the event host's preference.

Are the events free to attend?

A.   Yes and no. Yes each group you wish to be a part of is included in your membership. However, depending on the activity (i.e. lunch meetup where everyone pays their own lunch costs) the price may vary or have no cost (yoga, hiking, etc). Details will always  be posted within each event or interest group. 

How do I update my profile?

A.    The membership tab will take you to your membership application. You will need to be logged on to proceed.

We are relocating before the end of the club year, will my membership be prorated?

A.   We are a non-profit 501(c)(7) organization.  The social events, charitable contributions, and club expenses spent annually per member far exceed what a yearly membership costs per person. The club year runs from August to May, with all memberships expiring in May. Half year memberships are for those who sign up in January or later, & take into account that a member may have PCSed to Hawaii late in the club year. No refunds or prorations are given for those who PCS before the club year ends in May.

Can I bring guests to club events?

A.   For our main events, guests are not permitted at this time. Guests may be allowed on a case-by-case basis during interest group events. Event details will outline whether a guest is allowed, and what, if any, fees are due for their participation.

Who can I contact with questions?

A.  Please email your questions to presidentPHOSC@gmail.com or communicationsPHOSC@gmail.com.

Where can I follow PHOSC on social media?

A. Although our Facebook group is members only, we do have a public Facebook page and an Instagram account. Follow us on Facebook here, & on Instagram here!
