Events & Activities

Community-Wide Events

SOSA-WA hosts two community-wide events each year, inviting the submarine officer community to attend.

Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest is SOSA’s much anticipated yearly social event designed to provide community-bonding and morale-building in the submarine officer community.

To see information from the 2024 event, visit last year’s Oktoberfest website. Updates for 2025 are yet to come.

Silver & Gold Charity Auction

This event, typically held in March, includes an auction and dinner to help raise funds for the Dolphin Scholarship Fund (DSF), which provides scholarships for dependents of current and former submariners. A portion of the proceeds also benefit local charities that support the submarine community.

Volunteer Opportunities

SOSA-WA gives back to the local community by donating time and people-power.

Wreaths Across America

SOSA-WA participated in Wreaths Across America on December 16, 2023. During Wreaths Across America, community members lay wreaths on the graves of veterans in December to remember their service and sacrifice.
SOSA-WA looks forward to participating in this event on a yearly basis.

Other Activities

SOSA hosts other events throughout the year, some of which are member only. The best way to keep up-to-date is by following us on Facebook. Our Google calendar is also viewable below.

Special Tours

We have been fortunate enough to attend tours of TTF and make connections to what our sailors do all day (and sometimes all night). These are paid member only events. Please see the latest post on our upcoming tour(s)!
