Dear Fellow
Officers and Auxiliary Members,
As a member of
the Military Officers Association
of America, you are undoubtedly
familiar with the valuable
services provided by that
organization. However, you may
not be aware that there is, in
this area, a local Chapter
established in 1978 that is
essentially autonomous and
self-supporting, and is dedicated
to serving the interests of all
active, retired, National Guard,
and Reserve officers, as well as
spouses and survivors.
The Sierra
Nevada Chapter is proud to be a
part of MOAA’s “One Powerful
Voice” that is heard by our
Legislative Representatives in
supporting a strong National
Defense, and protecting Veterans,
Retirees, and Surviving Spouses
rights and benefits. As a member
of the Chapter, you’ll be kept up
to date on legislative
initiatives that affect Active
Duty, Veterans, and Retired
benefits. In these days of
uncertainty, your membership and
support are more vital than
ever. Additionally, the Chapter
sponsors a wide range of programs
and activities throughout the
year, such as:
●
Quarterly dinner meetings in
Reno, NV include: guest speakers,
national legislative update
presentations, and networking for
members and spouses.
● Liaison
with other local veterans and
military service groups.
● A
quarterly newsletter with local
and national MOAA news of
interest.
●
Presentation of awards and
scholarship to ROTC and JROTC
units.
●
Spouse luncheon socials and a
December Military Ball.
●
Supporting the Veterans Guest
House.
We offer a one-year free membership
(application attached) to current
MOAA National members; and, to
new members who become National
members concurrently. This will
give you an opportunity to become
familiar with our Chapter and its
superb membership. (Our normal
annual dues are only $20.00 per
year for active and retired
military, and $5.00 per year for
spouses of deceased military
officers).Questions? Please
call me at (775) 741-6487.
Sincerely,
Carol A. Evans
Commander, U.S. Navy, Retired,
President
