REUNION UPDATE
Join us for the 65th anniversary reunion, here are several reasons for you to sign up now:
The members of the 1st Air Commando Group will join us. It is time to honor these warriors once again.
General Schwartz, Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and a great supporter of the ACA, is the tentative featured speaker at our Saturday night banquet.
Commemorative T-shirts will be available.
The agenda will include our Thursday night social, our famous fish fry, BBQ, and Sunday memorial service in addition to the feature event the Saturday night banquet. Of course the hospitality room will be open during the duration and close on Sunday with an auction.
We anticipate increased participation by the active duty air commandos who are playing a significant role in the war on terrorism. We encourage all to sign up early. Click here for ACA Reunion information.
We will not have a ladies luncheon this year and no golf tournament. See following comments from Jim Boney. On Saturday morning, we will have an important business meeting mapping out the long-term fiscal health of the ACA and requesting permission from the membership to eliminate the restriction on using the life funds to help cover operating expenses.
The beautiful new club will not be completed and this will be our last reunion in the current Soundside Club – another milestone as many of us remember the “original” club where so many memorable reunions were held.
And, finally, our founder and inspirational leader BG “Heinie” Aderholt, is looking forward to seeing all his old friends.
GOLF UPDATE:
By Jim Boney
Due to lack of participation at the last two annual reunions, there will be no scheduled golf tournament this year. However, to the few golfers that wish to play at Hurlburt Gator Lakes Golf Course, I will reserve a block of tee times for Friday morning, 12 October 2009. Last year we had only 11 golfers (flown west, too old and feeble, etc.) Hopefully this reunion will attract more. I’ll need names and handicaps (for parings) no later than 15 September 2009. Green fee and cart costs $35.00.
There are lots of other excuses for not playing including egos, no one in our age group can play like we did a few years ago, etc., etc. So Sign up and don’t worry about your score and years past. You’ll be spending about 5 hours on the course with old buddies.
