PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE: September - November 2024
I hope this edition of the Border Bulletin finds you well and enjoying your summer. By now you should have received the letter regarding the El Paso MOAA Board of Directors’ decision to close the chapter unless members step up to fill key positions such President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Programs Director, etc. in both the Chapter, and our Outreach Foundation. If you have not received the referenced letter, please contact me at LennieEnzel@icloud.com or 915.755.2325. I am sure there will be a lively discussion our 14 September Luncheon. I hope you will join us and contribute to the dialogue.
This is a gentle reminder to use the MOAA National “Take Action” website to weigh in on legislative issues important to your earned benefits. If you have not already registered, you can do so at: https://moaa.quorum.us. MOAA is fighting very day to preserve and enhance the programs and services available to active and retired military service members and their families as well as military Veterans and their families. You can greatly assist in this effort by using this website to automatically contact your Senators and Representatives to weigh in on issues. If enough people contact their legislators, bills can miraculously become law.
I look forward to seeing you at the 14 September luncheon. Stay cool and stay safe. Read More
