Message from President August 13, 2018
10 months have passed since the last update and the association board of directors have been very busy. First, I want to thank some of the most active board members. Don Bowker Sr. our association Secretary, web master and store keeper/Jim West our association Treasurer/Randy Eckert the past President and 2019 Convention Chairman/Dick Aldinger the newsletter editor and 2019 Convention Publicity Chairman.
With the change of the association name came a lot of other changes in the association. A new brand and web site have shown a resurgence in our membership. We have tied both RED HORSE and Prime BEEF into our new brand and introduced some new hat colors. Our new web site is now a total secure website and our web master has brought forward everything from the old site and added to it. Just look at our store.
Our scholarship selection committee has just awarded the 2018 Brigadier General William Meredith Honor Scholarship to two very impressive young people. Because of security concerns we will not make public the names, but both were grandchildren of association members. Each received a $500.00 scholarship to be used as needed. Remember the scholarship program is open to all members families. The package can be found on our web site.
In April we held our spring board meeting in Las Vegas the site of our 2019 convention/reunion. We are in talks with an offsite hotel/casino but have not finalized anything yet. We have sent out a questionnaire to all association members requesting your inputs. At this convention/reunion we will be featuring the three engineering units stationed at Nellis the 99th Civil Engineering Squadron, 820th and 555th RED HORSE Squadrons.
To the Horse and Bull
Stanley Irwin
President
