retirees). His presentation was very well received

and we are still working with Maj Fletcher

(pharmacy OIC) to make the process even better.

At this luncheon we also presented the 2016

working at a summer job in Colorado.

next years Honor Flight. It costs $1000.00 to send

a WWII or Korean Veteran to Washington DC to

us in this worthy cause.

Upcoming Events:

Sincerely,

Walter

Walter Paul, LTC (USA Retired) Chapter President

(Continued from page 1)

In 2012 Chapter established the Albuquerque

Chapter of MOAA Endowment at the Albuquerque

Community Foundation (ACF) to enhance our cur-

rent, and especially our future, ability to contribute

to worthy charitable organizations that help our

military personnel, veterans and their families.

The endowment was initiated in late January of

2012 and has grown well as a result of contribu-

tions and the growth in the investments. The

Board has adopted a policy of using the annual

distributable amount to increase our Giving in each

year. For those who are so inclined, gifts can be

made to the Chapter Endowment as a part of a

member’s estate or as part of a yearly donation.

More information about the annual performance

and use of the distribution will be published in a

future ALBUMOAA. For questions, the Chapter

point of contact is the treasurer, Clint

Whisonant, ClintWhiz@hotmail.com or 505-410-

1417 (cell).

Thank you very much for the MOAA Chapter

Scholarship. I was always taught that the reason I

was able to enjoy the freedoms of American socie-

ty was because of the sacrifice of our soldiers and

veterans. Both of my grandfathers fought in wars.

I know that my opportunity to gain education is

because of those who fought and died so that

America would stay free. I am very grateful that

those who have already given so much for the na-

tion have chosen to give to me. I will use the

scholarship to succeed in college and ultimately

become a productive citizen. My value of hard

work, merit and morality are founded in the mili-

tary upbringings of my parents. I hope to pass

Jake’s grandparents are Colonel Noel F. Austin,

USAF (Ret) and his wife, Judith Austin. He gradu-

ated from Niwot High School in May of 2016. At

school, Jake was the head captain of the debate

team as well as a graduate of the rigorous Inter-

national Baccalaureate program. Jake will be at-

tending CU Boulder in the fall and plans to go to

law school.

these same values to my children someday, and

remind them how lucky we are to live in America.

Thank You!
