Dear Member,
Attached is the April 2024 issue of the chapter newsletter-- The Sarasota Breeze - and a luncheon reservation form for the chapter’s April luncheon on Friday April 19, 2024.
Were are privileged to have Lt Col George Hardy, USAF (Ret) as our April luncheon speaker. The Tuskegee airman is one of the few military members who have flown combat missions in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Please join us to hear a very extraordinary individual speak about a career that spanned a signifiant period in the history of our country.
Please note the Vietnam Veterans Commemoration to take place at Patriot Plaza (National Cemetery) on March 26th @ 1:00pm. See Page 9 for information on this event.
Please participate in the Giving Challenge, which runs from Noon on April 9 to Noon on April 10, and support our Sarasota Military Officers Foundation and our scholarship fund. You can find the appropriate information and links to the site on Page 8 of the newsletter — along with a couple of “Thank you” notes from two veteran recipients of our scholarships
Peggy O’Connell has arranged for the April Meet & Greet at the Stonewood Grill on University Parkway on April 10th — see page 9 of the newsletter.
As you can see from the calendar on Page 12 of the newsletter, there are many events planned during the next month —— I hope you will join us and enjoy the camaraderie of your fellow MOAS members.. Looking forward to seeing you soon!!
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this issue of The Breeze - and as always, please let me know if you have a suggestion on how we can improve it.
Thank you & Stay Safe
