ACA Midwest Chapter

State of the Chapter Report – MidWest Chapter

ALL,

Here is the 2008 State of the Chapter Report for the Midwest Chapter:

– In 2008 we conducted two membership meetings, Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter.  All had a great time.

– We also had several luncheon meetings throughout the year.

– We paid recognition to the HQ AFMC AMMO 2007 top performers.  Each received a certificate and ACA Midwest Chapter Coin.

– We held our Secretary/Treasurer election and Gary Knighton was elected with his term starting 1 Jan 09.

– One of our chapter participants, Butch Paskewitz, moved to Robins AFB. . 

– We started the year with $438.00, collected no dues, donated $100.00 to the annual Chief’s Group Golf outing leaving the end of year with $338.00. 

In CY2009 we’ll have our normal two meeting with the dates TDB.

We also anticipate having several luncheons.

We once again recognize the 2008 outstanding AFMC AMMO top performers

We’ll be supporting the Annual Chiefs Group’s Golf event as well as the Chief’s Stripe 50th Anniversary  on 1 Dec.

That is it for now.

Have a great AMMO day!

Thanks

Don Cline Makes the Final Journey to the Big Bomb Dump

Some sad news.  Don passed away on May 1st.  The diabetes, heart, and lung cancer finally got bigger than he could handle.  I had him moved to Hospice House on Tuesday and he died early Thursday morning.  He did not have to suffer.  Thank God.
