Hi all
I spoke with Joe Shambo, Veteran Service Officer with the VFW. His phone died and had to get a new one but his number is the same. If you tried to contact him and didn't get a response, try to call or email him. If you haven't done so, call him to see if you are eligible to file a VA claim. The VA is training 2000 new staff to insure claims are adjudicated quickly.
I am accepting nominations for Veteran Club leadership for 2022. If you are interested in assuming these positions, let me know.
President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer
We are collecting 2022 dues of $5 at meetings or mail to Larry Webster, 14185 N Fawnbrooke Dr, Oro Valley, AZ 85755. Be sure to include your name in the envelope. You may also give dues to me or Larry if you see us.
Three club members are meeting to determine what organizations to donate money the club that has been raised from the sale of bricks for the Legacy Walkway. If you have any ideas of Veteran organizations, please let me know.
Monday, November 1st guest speaker will be Colonel Pfeifer, Commander of the Western Army Aviation Training Site at Pinal Airpark.
If you haven't heard, Social Security COLA is increasing 5.9%
Monday, December 6th club meeting will be extended from 12 - 2 PM at the Catalina Vista. We will have an "Open Mic" format, where members can speak "briefly", 5 - 10 minutes, about your time in the service. Please be considerate of the time so we may have everyone who wants to speak, time to do so. Email me know if you would like to relate your military experience to the membership. I will make a roster, first come, first served.
*****Heads up for late January early February. The Veterans Club will be featured on the cover of the November 2022 Tipster. Installation of the "Legacy Walkway" bricks begins December 13th. Looking for over 100 Veteran Club members (whether you are an active member or not) to stand along the "Legacy Walkway". We are featured because the club raised over $12,200, to date, for SCOV clubs, the Association and Veterans organizations. As we get closer I will let everyone know specific date and time. I appreciate your support in advance.
