Hello Convention-Goers!!

We are now looking forward to great info from MOAA, comradery, and fun in September as we prepare to gather at Peek ‘N Peak Resort. As a reminder, final and full payments are due by Wednesday 7 August 2024.  If you haven’t registered, contact Norma Weissend ASAP to see if you can still get in!! See her contact info below.

You should have all received your detailed reservation acknowledgement from Norma, which indicates your balance due, if any. If you have NOT received an acknowledgment, let her know ASAP!!!

As of today, we have 44 participants from throughout the state! We extend a very special welcome to LTC Diane Wallace, USA (Ret). She and her husband Bert will be travelling from Nesconset on Long Island to attend! Diane is a MOAA member who does not have Chapter in her area. She responded to the email blast from Tank’s office to over 1,200 non-affiliated MOAA NYS members. We look forward to meeting Diane and Bert!

In addition to CAPT Frank Michael (Tank), we are pleased to announce that MG April Vogel, USAF (Ret) will be joining us from MOAA HQ. General Vogel is the recently appointed Vice President of Government Relations (https://www.moaa.org/content/about-moaa/meet-our-leaders/moaa-staff/advocacy-leaders/april-vogel/) She will speak to us during our business meeting on Monday, as well as address us as our keynote speaker for our Awards Banquet on Monday evening.

If you would like to arrive early (before Sunday) or stay longer (Wednesday), you must make your reservations directly with Peek ‘N Peak Resort. They will offer the same nightly rate ($105 per night) and you will pay separately and directly to P’nP as well. Just let them know you are attending our convention. (Call Jessica Cook – 716.355.4141).

We look forward to spending a few days with our fellow dedicated US military officers in our quest to “Never Stop Serving” and charting our course to increase membership and Chapter involvement.

As always, call or email Norma if you have ANY questions!!!
