President's Update
Chapter President Col Walter Havenstein, Sr., USMC (Ret)

Greetings once again! As we enter the new years it’s time for an update on recent happenings in our Chapter and plans for the coming months.

Let me start by thanking our Chapter Board Members for their continued work and support. This past year we’ve continued our mission to “Never Stop Serving” by supporting Moore County Veterans and providing scholarships to local JROTC Cadets. We held another successful Veterans Putting Challenge in memory of Ralph Jacobson in November and are gearing up for another year of serving others. Please refer to our chapter website(sandhillsmoaa.org) for the most current information regarding events and activities as well as items of interest to MOAA members.

Please welcome Diana DiStefano and Alan McKinnon to the Board of Directors. Diana is a returning board member. I’m pleased to announce that Mike Hutson has stepped up to serve as Secretary of the board for this year. Thank you.
