Our Sandhills Chapter of MOAA is primarily a member service organization. Through the volunteer efforts of our members and their financial contributions our mission is to:

• Foster comradeship among our members by providing interesting, enriching, and informative events and activities.
• Support veterans, especially those veterans in need, and team with other organizations with whom we have common interests in supporting veterans.
• Provide services for members and their dependents and survivors in time of need.
• Serve the community by planning and hosting the annual Memorial Day service and Veterans Day ceremony and awarding scholarships to deserving high school seniors.
• Protect the rights and interests of personnel of the Uniformed Services and their dependents and survivors
• Promote the purposes and objectives of the Military Officers Association of America.

The Sandhills Chapter and National MOAA are nonpartisan organizations.

All of our activities and events are held in the Pinehurst – Southern Pines area. Our luncheons and evening dinners are generally held on the third Tuesday of each month at a local club and require an RSVP. We welcome all National MOAA members to attend our activities as a guest.

Our Chapter publishes a monthly e-newsletter regarding upcoming events, key legislative issues, other items of interest, and changes in our membership. We also annually publish a directory of all members with email addresses, and phone numbers.

We hope you consider joining the Sandhills MOAA Chapter and reestablishing ties with your military experience and your fellow comrades-in-arms.

Social Events

The activities of our Chapter include several luncheons and two evening dinner throughout the year. At each function we have a well known and knowledgeable speaker who focuses on a subject related to contemporary military issues, military history, or local issues relevant to MOAA members. Spouses and guests are always welcome to all our events. In addition, we sponsor the community’s annual Memorial Day Service and Veterans Day Ceremony.
