PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - April / May 2023
Happy Spring! Thank you to all who attended the 11 March Luncheon at Applebee’s on George Dieter Drive. It was wonderful to see everyone, and the location was a nice change of pace.
The location for our 10 June Luncheon will soon be announced. Our speaker will be Gail Joyce, Chair of the MOAA Surviving Spouse Advisory Council. She is an incredible speaker and has an amazing story of faith and perseverance through adversity. Please invite friends and family to attend and hear all she has to share with us. Surviving spouses are a large part of our Chapter membership and unfortunately is a role many of us get to unwillingly play in our lives.
Please reach out to those you know who are eligible to join our Chapter. If our chapter is going to thrive, we need a deeper ‘bench’. We are grateful to COL Bob Wagner who is leading our membership efforts. If each of us got just one or two people to join our Chapter, think how lively our Chapter could become. Read More
