Hello Everyone,
The year 2024 is coming to an end, which means 2025 is about to start with everything new to look forward to. We had a great ending to this year with the Doughboy Meal and the Christmas party. The Doughboy Meal netted the chapter $95, and the Christmas Party was well attended.
This will be my last President’s Note. The Chapter is still alive and flourishing, and we are looking forward to 2025 with new faces and more energy.
If you missed the Christmas Party, here are the new officers:
| President | William Maki, Maj, USAF, Ret |
| 1st Vice President | Tom Luczynski. BG, USA, Ret |
| 2d Vice President | James McClellan Col, USAF, Ret |
| Secretary | John Anderson, LTC, USA, Ret |
| Treasurer | Mrs. Lisa Rivedal. Surviving Spouse |
| 1 Yr Trustee | John Chapman, CPO, USN, Ret |
| 2 Yr Trustee | Andy Emanuele, LTC, USA, Ret |
| 3 Yr Trustee | Tom Harden, LtCol, USAF, Ret |
Your new President, Maj Bill Maki will be letting you know about the January membership Meeting. Here are some 2025 planned dates. These dates are tentative and subject to change.
