PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE: March 2026 - May 2026

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year!!! 2026 is here. Our MOAA Family has an exciting year ahead of us. Our 70th Anniversary of our Chapter will be the focus of the whole year! I ask you to talk to your friends and family to let them know we made this milestone and invite them to attend our luncheons or any other events we may have this year. If you have any ideas on celebrating the anniversary this year, please let me or one of our board members know of your ideas.

We will start off the year with our luncheon March 14th. We were asking MOAA national to have MOAA National President LTG Kelly join us for our luncheon but he has a conflict with his schedule. We are honored to have CAPT Marvin Heinze, MOAA Board First Vice Chair. Also, the El Paso Mayor will attend our March luncheon with a special presentation surprise.

In June, we will have the Garrison Commander, COL Michael Soyka. Ms Gail Joyce, a Gold Star Mother and MOAA Board member will join us in September to tell her story and will be especially focused on our spouses. I hope to get the Ft Bliss Spouses organization to join us in September. Read More
