President's Message
Welcome June! This year, our Chapter celebrates 37 years of service. Established on June 24, 1986, the initial group of intrepid officers played a major role in local, State, and National issues dealing with military benefits. They were instrumental in championing several wins for our military personnel with regard to TRICARE, pay policies, and surviving spouse issues. They also built the foundation for young adults from Illinois to receive grants, interest free loans, and scholarships within the MOAA National Scholarship Fund. We owe a great deal to those pioneers who established the Southwest Chapter and endeavor to hold to the commitment to Never Stop Serving! To that end, let me recount the activities of the 2022 year that supported our input for the Level of Excellence Award:
