PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - June 2023
I hope this finds you all well and happy. Summer is upon us; the days are growing longer and warmer. I am excited to hear Gail Joyce, the guest speaker at our upcoming 10 June luncheon. I heard Gail speak at a regional MOAA meeting and she made a great impression on me. Her words on how to prepare for and survive the death of a spouse are something everyone should hear. I hope you will join us at the Centennial Club and bring a friend or two that needs to hear her message.
A big thank you to Dave Powell for all he is doing for our Chapter. Not only is he serving as both our treasurer and secretary, but he has also procured the venues for our luncheons, coordinated for the UTEP ROTC graduates to get their butter bars, and is representing us at Fort Bliss Armed Forces Day.
Likewise, I am grateful to Bill Oseles for the magnificent job is he doing with the Border Bulletin. I appreciate all the work that goes into it. We very narrowly missed winning the MOAA National Communication Award and I have no doubt we will earn it next year. Read More
