Military Officer - June 2007 - (Page 51) chapteractivities 2nd Runner-Up The Despatch Mount Vernon (Va.) Col. Russell Henderson, USA-Ret. Officers Call St. Petersburg (Fla.) Area Col.

Make a Difference The annual communications award competition highlights Web sites and newsletters from councils and chapters that best keep their members (and prospective members) informed. What struck the judging panel most was the variety of projects and level of community support demonstrated by MOAA’s council and chapter members. These people volunteer their time and efforts to give something back, mobilizing their fellow members to join them — that’s servant leadership, and it can be a powerful force. These communications tell the story about the important things MOAA members are doing across the country. They make a difference — and are having fun doing it. They work with today’s young people through Junior ROTC (JROTC) and ROTC programs. Many chapters conduct their own local scholarship programs for outstanding JROTC students headed to college. They help in VA hospitals and clinics across the country. In Georgia, a chapter is working hard on a project to send veterans to see the World War II Memorial. MOAA has chapters helping families of deployed National Guard and Reserve servicemembers and sending packages to troops overseas. Chapter members volunteer in school classrooms, teaching an appreciation of history and leadership. They work with state councils and state officials to push state legislative issues: In New Jersey, a dedicated chapter member led a longtime fight to get tax relief for military retirees in his state — and won. Many of us have been leaders in the uniformed services and still want to help others and continue to serve. Did you know you could do it all right in your hometown with your local MOAA chapter? If you have a particular issue you’re interested in, see whether your local chapter is doing it; if it isn’t, you can get it going. But get involved. You didn’t stand back when you were serving your country, and it still needs you now in another way. Stop by your local chapter. You’ll be glad you did. — Col. Lee Lange II, USMC-Ret.
