Minute-man award to MOAA officer approved. 
The winner is a secret.  Statue, with honoree's name added to the plaque, will be presented at the Virginia Congressional Luncheon 16 April 2008.  COL Sam Wilder, VCOC VP, chaired the nominating committee.

Give Me 10 program was briefed by LTC Paul Mehler, VCOC 2nd VP, the 3rd person pictured in the photo at left.  LTC Mehler also presented an idea for consideration that VCOC ask MOAA, instead of the Give Me Ten recognition luncheon, to contribute the dollars they would have spent on it (for Virginia) to the Virginia War Memorial.  This suggestion will be voted on at the July VCOC quarterly meeting. 




The next VCOC quarterly meeting will be July 11th, hosted by the Central Virginia Chapter.  COL Hank Shelton briefed the tentative plans, for the meeting to be held at the club of a gated community in the Charlottesville area.  The VCOC voted yes to holding the meeting there, at a cost to each person attending of $20, plus room cost of $250.
