Membership drive continues through December

September 1st, 2011 by webmaster

Pictured left to right: Membership Trustee, MSgt Michael Mooney, President Terry Turner and Chapter Member SSgt Angel Piata. Chapter 985 held a Membership Drive Monday 29 August thru Thursday September 1, 2011 at the Tinker Exchange (BX). Thanks to all of the members who stopped by to assist in the drive. Without you it would not have been a success.

985 Members have you recruited one yet?

It can be any AF member no matter the rank/status or a family member. We must keep recruiting and retaining members and keep our organization strong so that we can force the hand of Congress to stop pushing the military members aside. If you haven’t looked at the points of interest it will sure catch your attention.

Tuition Assistance changes may go down from 100% to 75% or lower
We may have to start paying for Dependent Health Care

Stay engaged and send the letters to your Congressman if you have questions about Legislative News or need help contacting your Congressman email Jeffery.Anderson@tinker.af.mil
