Good afternoon everyone!


We had 11 members and 2 guests present for today's meeting.  I want to thank Chief Guy and Chief Hayes for attending our meeting. 


We discussed the upcoming Annual Pig Roast (7 May).  CW4 (RET) Roy Valiant made a motion second by  CW4 (RET) Rich Krause for the chapter to host the pig roast and the membership voted unanimously in favor of hosting it again this year. CW5 (RET) Joe Wurm, Ordnance Corps Association Director, offered to donate a Don Stiver's Print, which will be raffled off during the Pig Roast.  Joe, thank you for your generous donation!  Joe also thanked the chapter for the $200.00 donation to the Ordnance Corps Golf Tournament this coming May.  We are going to need volunteers with the pig roast.  I hope when I call, you can help?  Right now we have 3 volunteers.

I also mentioned the AMM Oct 20-24 and informed the membership that the National President, Roy Valiant, decided to make a personal donation of a
Don Stiver's Print, which will be raffled off during the evening of the Annual Awards Banquet.  Roy, thank you for your generous donation also!

CW4 (RET) Kurt Schultz spoke about the chapter web site informing everyone that it is up and running.  Kurt is our web master and doing a great job.

I had the pleasure of swearing in CW4 (RET) Mike Campbell as the new Chapter Treasurer.  Chris Farmer, who has been our Treasurer, will not be able to continue for personal reasons.  Thanks Chris for stepping forward and filling that void, even if it was for a short while and thanks Mike for stepping up.  Mike has done the job before and will keep the books straight.


We discussed some professional development topics and the following individuals stepped forward: CW4 Fred Ellwein (AG), Roy Valiant (AV), and CW3 Amy Bailey (QM) offered to present OPDs about their branches in the upcoming months.  CW4 Dan Singh offered to present an OPD on the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP).  Kurt Schultz offered to present an OPD on Expedient Armor.  We can look forward to some excellent OPDs this year.

I read a letter from St Jude and asked the membership if they wanted to make a donation.  Rich Krause made a motion to donate $250.00 and it was seconded by Roy Valiant.  The vote was unanimous.


Our next meeting is: 17 April at the HUT.
