State Council Information

State Council Meetings

We now meet four (4) times per year.  Exact months are not yet established, but when available, it will be available to all Chapter Presidents. 

General Information

Please ensure that all Chapter Presidents provide their President reports two weeks in advance of the meeting itself.

Be There For One Another

We are asking that each of "US" find a friend within the Arizona State Council and befriend them.  Be there for them in every aspect, as no one can have too many friends. 

Document Your Life

Time is flying by and it is critical that "ALL OF US" need to write our own autobiography for our families when we are no longer here.  Think on it.

Look For the Homeless

We all see a lot of homeless veterans throughout our cities and it is getting worse and worse over time.  Watch out for them and buy them a meal or two, maybe a night in a motel and call the VA to help them with the rest of their life.

Archive Your Chapter

For those of you that are desiring to archive your chapter and need some assistance, call Walt Schumacher as to "how" to do it.
