Make plans now to join other chapter members and spouses and guests from our chapter and from several other north Georgia veterans organizations for this special program.  The UNG SROTC Leadership will provide a special dinner meeting and informational program designed to inform us of this outstanding program that is adding over 100 commissioned officers to the ranks of our country's military each year.

We will meet at 1600 in the UNG Dining Facility Banquet Room. Even though we will select our food from the chow line a la cart.  Please email your intention to attend to our chapter secretary Tom Billings,  tombill03@comcast.net  See the agenda just below.

We will not have a regular membership meeting in February.
