We normally meet the third Thursday of the month.  Our December meeting is a semi-formal dinner and an exciting Silent Auction that is great fun. For 2020 we have postponed this Social and Auction until Spring 2021.  We do not meet in Jun, Jul, or Aug.

Join us to be a part of doing good things for past, present, and future members of the uniformed services of the USA.
