In May Marilyn Hunt was recruiting chapter members at the Fairchild AFB Safety Fair.

Also in May Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers holds a Veterans Fair, and this year Bob Imle and Barbara Wunderlich manned our table as did Chuck Latimer.

April 21, 2010 Beth Ann and Ken Deich, Washington State Council of Chapters President met with Senator Patty Murray to discuss the offsets that are unfair to our disable veterans and widows, the unfairness of not including the Reservists and National Guard who were called up during the first 6 years of the Iraq war who do not get credit for their service while those who have been deployed in the last two years get credit towards retirement. Many issues were discussed and Senator Murray continues to fight to get these wrongs corrected. 

Four of our chapter members hold office in the Washington State Council of Chapters of MOAA. They attended the fall meeting this October and were lucky enough to have the president of MOAA, RADM Norb Ryan attend and speak to those gathered there. On the evening before, a reception was held at Patriots Landing. Many ideas were shared and new friendships found.

Wreaths Across America was held nation wide at noon on Saturday, December 11, 2010. The Washington State Veterans Cemetery set a new record in the Wreaths program in that it wreaths for every headstone plus ones to be set along the base of the Columbium Wall and some for the Scattering Garden. Our Marilyn Hunt, CDR, USN (Ret.) set the Navy Wreath and Beth Ann Daigre led the Pledge of Allegiance. In total we have been told that almost one third of the 179 wreaths came from our membership. WOW!!!!
