PRESIDENT'S COMMENTS - May 2012
Fellow Officers,
In May of 2011, three MOAA chapters in other states stepped up to participate in a new pilot program called Community Blueprint. This effort brings together more than 50 non-governmental organizations, with interest from the federal government and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to provide a set of tools and guidelines for communities that are interested in helping veterans and their families.
The goal of MOAA National Hq is to start 10 more pilot efforts in 2012-2013. MOAA councils and chapters interested in supporting this effort will have an opportunity to join other states and chapters in helping veterans in their communities. There are eight areas in this program:
If our chapter joins this program, our objective would be to obtain community support for our vets, and I believe that the kindness and concern of our Kansas City-area communities will fully cooperate in this worthy program.
As with any program, it is not a one-person show ─ it will require our chapter to contact other organizations and work with them to insure our veterans receive a hand up, not a hand out.
With this in mind, I’m asking for your input about our chapter volunteering to become involved, and unless I hear some valid objections, I hope to follow through and see if the support our community provides returning veterans can be improved. I think those who served in our military deserve our support, and I think it is our duty as veterans to offer our help.
Let me hear from you, yea or nay.
