Tip of the Hat

… to members of the Hawaii Aloha Chapter for recently donating nearly $750 to Fisher House II at Tripler Army Medical Center. More than 40 chapter members and guests toured the Fisher House facility before joining residents for a lunch, during which chapter members collected and presented the donation.

Well done!

… to the New Jersey Lakes and Pines Chapter, which recognized two young military officers for their leadership, community involvement, and work ethic by presenting them the chapter’s Junior Officer of the Year Award in February. Capt. Kristina Himmelreich, USAF, with the 305th Air Mobility Wing, and 1st Lt. Casey Boyle, USAF, with the 87th Air Base Wing, each received a one-year Premium membership to MOAA and a one-year regular membership to the chapter.

Great job recognizing the achievements of this new generation of military officers!

… to members of the Bluegrass (Ky.) Chapter for donating $3,800 to the Thomson-Hood Veterans Center. The funds will help meet the unfunded needs of residents. Chapter President Col. Tom Peters, USAF (Ret), presented the check to center Director Ben Sweger during a recent ceremony.

Kudos!

… to the Dayton Area (Ohio) Chapter, which recently was designated a Bronze Patron of Fisher/Nightingale House Inc. Chapter members not only contribute household items each month, but they also donated $500 to the new Dayton VA Medical Center Fisher House.

Great work on your continued efforts to support Fisher House!
