Expired ID Cards Reprinted from Military Retirees Newsletter RAO At PNS Reprinted from Military Retirees Newsletter |
214. Dennis Viola, Director of the State’s Veterans
Council has worked with the Department of Safety to identify other documents
that prove a person is a veteran and the Legislature is in the process of
revising the statute. The problem should be corrected soon, if not
done so already. Unfortunately, as we understand the fix, a retired
military ID card is not one of the documents that will be accepted to prove
that you are a veteran.
Scholarship Loans Just a friendly reminder
that Ray Helgemoe and Cal Hosmer continue to solicit donations for the Scholarship
Loan program. This program offers interest-free loans of $1,500 per
academic year to children and grandchildren of members to help defray the
cost of a college education. If the student maintains a high grade
point average, some or all of the loan may be forgiven. Repayment begins
six months after leaving school.
Members wishing to donate to this worthwhile cause, or who would like additional information or an application, should contact the Scholarship Committee Chairman, COL Calvin Hosmer, by mail at P.O. Box 175, York, ME 03909, by phone at (207) 363-2396, or by e-mail at HosmerIII@aol.com. Your continued support will make it possible for our members’ children and grandchildren to obtain the education that they will need for success. Annual Clambake Our Chapter will be sponsoring its 18th annual Clambake in August. The success of this event has not gone unnoticed by the National TROA organization or by Chapters in adjoining States. Recently, Chapter President Bancroft McKittrick was contacted by the folks in the Fort Devens Chapter, asking if they could have a few members attend to see how we “do it.” There already has been some interest expressed by the Congressional staffs, and we usually have a TROA National representative or two at the Clambake. Also, since 1998, the Green Mountain Chapter (Vermont) has been invited. If you have not been to the Chapter’s Clambake in the past—start now to make plans to attend on August 3, 2002! |
