PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE: November - December 2024
Summer seems to finally be behind us and the days are getting cooler and crisper as we begin to enter our holiday season. I am looking forward to seeing you all at our 21 December Holiday Luncheon at the Centennial Club.
Thanks so much to our fellow Chapter members who stepped up to assume Board of Director positions. I am grateful that our Chapter can continue for another year. I would ask that each of you who were dismayed at the impending closure of our Chapter look into what you can do to insure we are not again in this position at this time next year. Our Chapter will continue to limp along with most of the same people doing the bulk of the work. You will be given the proposed slate to vote on at the December Luncheon, but we could still use more volunteers for the myriad of details involved in running the Chapter and staging the quarterly luncheons. Most require a very small time commitment and can be done from the comfort of your home. Since our Chapter will survive, our Outreach Foundation can also survive which will allow us to continue to do good works for our military and Veteran communities. Please consider making a donation so we can continue supporting important activities like the Veteran Justice Outreach Program, VA Baby Shower, Veteran Homeless Standdown, Junior Enlisted Food Bank, UTEP ROTC Cadets, etc. Read More
