NOMADS
2016 President
Dear Fellow Nomads…. Well, the 2016 year is almost at an end. With the month November here, we have our annual Induction Meeting when NOMADS celebrates our new membership and adds to our ranks. Brother John Boals will be leading us down that path sharing what it means to him to be a NOMAD. I always appreciate this because I am often drawn back to the day I signed up as a NOMAD and when I was inducted myself. Our organization has made my career, as well as help make me into the person I am today. I am reminded at every meeting when I look across the table is see members that I am proud to know and overwhelmed when I consider myself a colleague of theirs. All of us have the stories of our own. Come out and share your NOMADS stories.
Also at this meeting, you will be introduced to your 2017 officer candi-dates. There is still time for nominations; ballots will not go out until after November’s meeting. If you are interested in getting more involved and believe you can spare the time, please let me or Wanda know.
Ed Carney has generously donated 4 premium tickets to the Notre Dame vs. West Point (ARMY) football game on November 12, 2016 in San Antonio @ the Alamo Dome. Kick off is at 2:30 PM. The plan is to raffle them off at Induction meeting. These are awesome tickets, seats 1 – 4 on row 29, Section 116, lower section near field on the south east side near the end zone! Ticket value is $120.00 per ticket! Proceeds to be split between NOMADS and the Phoenix Patriot Foundation. If you have any up front interest in the tickets, please let me know.

Officer Nominations for 2017
Election for Sergeant of Arms 2017 will be held during the month of November and we are now seeking nominations. If you would like to throw your hat in the ring or suggest another Nomad for the position, please inform Wanda or any of the current officers.
Welcome these new members! They were approved for regular membership on the recent ballot—They are now NEOPHYTES until at which time on Tuesday, November 8, they will be invited to participate in the Induc-tion ceremony. At that time, they will receive their insignia pin and membership certificate. They are con-sidered “Regular” members now, and enjoy all the perks of a Nomad. They each have a salmon-colored badge at the meetings—Be sure and get to know them!
