WELCOME TO ROWS!
Join ROWS today! Find friends, fun, and fellowship!


  • The Retired Officers’ Wives Society (ROWS) is an organization for wives and widows of retired commissioned or warrant officers, and women who are retired military officers of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, NOAA and Public Health Services.  Divorced wives who retain their ID cards under the uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act are also eligible for membership.
  • ROWS was founded in 1973, weaving the threads of patriotism, service and fellowship into the tapestry of a new organization.  ROWS has more than 345 members, drawn from all the cities in Hampton Roads, with a few from out of state.
  • Dues are $18.00 annually—a great bargain! Our fiscal year is from June 1 through May 31.  In order to have your name in the year book your dues must be paid by June 30.
  • ROWS members attend monthly luncheons and receive a monthly newsletter- The Rambling Rows- plus an annual yearbook listing members and events. 
  • Activities include bowling, golf, bridge groups, and special trips and activities.
  • Programs include: A Fall and Spring Fashion Show, plus a special fashion show scheduled for June 14, 2007. There will be many other venues and programs.  We especially enjoy a Holiday dinner dance, at the Princess Anne Country Club.
