Welcome to the NCO Association of Mississippi |

I am happy to finally get the first copy of
my newsletter out to you. We had the convention in April and we held
our first board meeting in June. Connie, with the help of the Gulfport
auxiliary and a few others, gave us many good memories of the conference
to bring home with us. I am going to give you a list of our officers,
directors, and appointees in this newsletter. Our first board meeting
was held on June 23rd at Meridian Air Guard Base with Connie
and Ricky Myers as our hosts. They had everything set up and ready when
we got there. We missed those of you who were unable to come. We did
have a quorum present and were able to conduct business. Connie and
Ricky prepared a wonderful meal and Paulette Lafferty helped with some
mouth-watering desserts. I want to remind you that our year is quickly
dwindling away and we need all of you who have not renewed for 2008 to
do so as soon as possible. We could all take a lesson from Connie and
Vivian. They are always prepared with copies of the membership form and
take every opportunity to offer membership to our Guard family. Don’t
leave it up to the directors to solicit new members. You have friends
and need to tell them what a great group we are and what we are here
for. You can, also, help the NCO Association, by reminding them that it
is time for their dues for 2008 to be paid. This is so important to all
of us because the more members we have on record, the more attention we
can get from those who make the decisions about policies that affect our
National Guard soldiers and their families. These include, access to
our Commissaries, Tri-Care, Family Support requirements for those
families who have loved ones overseas or away from home for any reason
associated with our Guard Member’s duties. I will get off my soap box
now. I want you to know what a privilege it is to be your president.
If you need me or have a question, please see my access information in
the list of officers. Board Meetings Our Board Meetings for the 2009-2010 period is listed below. June 26, 2010 CRTC in Gulfport All board meeting will start at 10 O’clock Coastal Breeze Newsletters View Here
