President’s Comments
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HELPING SMC TO RECEIVE OUR 5th CONSECUTIVE Levels of Excellence, 5-STAR AWARD. Even though I thanked all of you last month, I want to repeat it again. THANK YOU.
Our 2nd annual MOAA-DBACKS game was a huge success. Our color guard presented the colors again along with the flags of other AZ MOAA chapters. We had 75 MOAA members and their families in attendance. Thank you all
for joining us.
There are two state-wide functions coming up where we usually have good representation. On Friday October 23rd, at the Buttes Resort, Tempe; the AZ Hall of Fame Awards luncheon will take place. Tickets are $50.00 before Sept 30. Then on Saturday October 31st, the Annual Vietnam Veterans Dinner will be held at the Scottsdale Resort at 6:30pm. Tickets are $50.00. We generally have at least two tables at each of these functions. Because of that, your Board of Directors authorized us to procure two tables at each function. Greg Moore will be handling the reservations and Austin Foote has cut the SMC checks for each of the parties. So if you want to attend one or both of these functions call Greg Moore and make out your check to SMC.
Central Arizona Satellite (CAS), our new satellite will have its first official luncheon meeting on October 10th at the Olive Garden Restaurant, I-10 and Florence Hwy, Casa Grande. The meeting starts at 1300 hours and CDR John Chernoski will be the guest speaker. Don’t forget, new CAS members are members of SMC. Please join us.
At our September Board of Directors meeting, I appointed our nominating committee. Arlan Allen will lead the committee along with two past presidents Bob Delker, Karl Pfitzer and Marty Pearce.
It is very important to identify members as well as auxiliary members or surviving spouses to fill the few vacancies that we will have. Please call them and volunteer.

President’s message continued …
Our September dinner meeting was great. Thank you Greg and Meredith Moore for putting on such a great program. The
western night along with the music really hit the spot. Next month is STEAK at our annual picnic. Hope to see you there!

AUXILIARY NEWS: from Ann Ferguson
The next meeting of the Auxiliary will be on Friday, Oct 9, 2015 at Dobson’s Restaurant,
2155 S. Dobson in Mesa. We will meet at 11 am to pack boxes for Packages from Home and have luncheon off the menu at 11:30 am. We hope to see you there.
At the Sept Aux meeting a total of 15 boxes for Packages from Home were packed, bringing our total this year to 75 boxes. Since our goal is 120 boxes you can see that we still need donations of snack and hygiene items for the boxes as well as cash to purchase more items. You may bring your donations to any of our Aux or chapter meetings or contribute checks marked for Packages from Home to Austin Foote our Treasurer. You will find a contribution coupon on page 10 of this newsletter.
We have sent 4 more boxes of books (82 books) out to
troops and military families thru Operation
Paperback. Please remember to look through your shelves
and donate used paperback and hard back books for
Operation Paperback and the Phoenix VAMC.
On a personal note, I have decided that 10 years serving
as your Aux VP is enough and that it is time for some new
ideas and leadership. It is my hope that some of you will
run for this office. It is time for new ideas and energy. I
have enjoyed serving you all and plan to continue to be
active in the chapter. Although I know it is a bit premature,
I thank you all for your support and interest over the years.
September Dinner Meeting
Our Western Night theme for the dinner
meeting was a great success. The music by
Jimmy and Jere was fun to listen to and a
few of us even danced a little. Everyone
enjoyed the casual western wear and
relaxing atmosphere.

Picnic
October 17th
Our picnics are always fun. The Ramada is close to the lake so the view is beautiful and the restrooms are close by. Hopefully the weather will have cooled down and we can enjoy being outside. Tom Ralph has agreed to be our cook and we already know he does a wonderful job. Come join us for an afternoon of great food and fellowship!

CHAIRMAN REPORTS
2st Vice President Ann Schminke Membership
Keep up the good work! The chapter
welcomed new members: John & Judy
Bushko and our satellite promoter from
Coolidge, Harold and Sharon Fales.
The picnic in October always is a favorite with Tom Ralph
overseeing the grilling. The board decided to have steaks
with a couple hamburgers thrown in for members who really
don’t like steak! Can’t imagine that! This is a great event to
which you could bring a potential member.
As the chapters membership chairman I know how
important it is for our meetings to be upbeat and enjoyable.
Greg and Meredith Moore do a bang-up job, getting the
meeting area looking festive and setting up our programs.
I overheard Greg already planning the December event.
Backing up to November, remember that’s the time our
chapter has JROTC cadets perform the POW/MIA
Ceremony; and we honor veterans and their loved ones
from all service branches. It’s a very special night.
Superstition Mountain Chapter has some worthy causes
promoting good will throughout the retired military
community.

Legislative Ed Fox
Congress is back and working on some very important issues. Here’s a few:
Working to come up with something to keep from having a complete shutdown. It looks like they may kick that can down the road for a little while.
Military Pay and Benefits at Risk - Contentious debate on Capitol Hill may result in significant changes to your pay and benefits. Act now to let your elected officials know where you stand on proposals to cap pay raises below the private sector, dramatically increase pharmacy fees, erode housing allowances and further cut into commissaries.
Don't Cut the Troops' Pay Raise - It looks like the president will use his executive authority to limit the 2016 military pay at 1.3 percent, rather than the 2.3 percent provided under current law. This will be the third consecutive year of capping military pay. Ask your legislators to preserve the 2.3 percent military pay raise.
When you receive the Legislative Update from
Bob Delker, please read it and contact your local
congressmen to let them know your feelings on the
issues.
Personal Affairs Arlan Allen
Through the years, I have developed a working knowledge and have assisted
others with enrollment in the VA Healthcare System, VA Benefits, Dependents Indemnity Compensation, Survivor Benefits Program, Concurrent Retirement Disability Pay and Combat Related Special Compensation. I would be happy to assist any of the members of the Superstition Mountain Chapter, MOAA, relating to these issues. You may contact me at 602-283-5862 or [email protected].
Transition Coordinator James Austin
Need A Job? Beginning in October temporary jobs will be highlighted in the various Phoenix media.
Some of these jobs may very well lead to permanent employment once the Holiday Season has ended and should not be discounted from your consideration. Career Fairs will continue on a monthly basis in the Phoenix
Metroplex and often provide assistance in resume construction and hints for preparing veterans and their dependents for the all-important job interviews. Don’t overlook these opportunities and “Good Job Hunting!”
Treasurer Austin Foote I am now accepting dues for the 2016 year from those of you who would like to pay early. Remember, chapter dues are different and separate from national dues.
Chapter dues are $25.00 for members and $12.50 for Auxiliary and will be good from January 1st through December 31st. You will find a coupon on page 11 for mailing in your dues. We appreciate your continued support of our MOAA chapter
ROTC Karl Pfitzer Hello fellow chapter members and welcome to fall and the beginning of the end of another hot Arizona Summer. The
return of fall brings not only weather change but the beginning of another school year and our Chapter’s support of the JROTC programs at 21 east valley high schools and the three ROTC programs at Arizona State University. Your board has voted to continue our support of these schools in the same manner that we did last year.
Our Chapter makes three awards to each JROTC program; the MOAA Medal awarded for demonstrated leadership; an American flag flown over the US Capitol awarded for demonstrated patriotism; and finally a $100 cash award made at the discretion of the senior JROTC instructor to a deserving cadet within his/her program. For ASU we award only the MOAA medal and the US Flag for identically the same criteria.
Funding required to support these awards comes from your generosity by donating to the JROTC/ROTC campaign. The cost to support one JROTC school is $115 which covers the cost of the US Flag and the $100 cash award. Total cost for the entire program for 2015 will be approximately $2415. Donations can be made at every Chapter dinner meeting or directly to the chapter with a note explaining the funds are for the JROTC program. There has also been interest in a chapter member supporting a single high school where they may have a relative, child or grandchild attending. If you would like to do this please indicate on your donation the school that you are supporting.

We are also looking for chapter members to present the awards at each school’s annual awards program. If you are interested in presenting please contact me and we can make the arrangements. A list of the schools can be found on the chapter website and in the newsletter. Marlene Fox will account for and maintain a running total of donations in each newsletter. Our support program is one of the most sought after by the JROTC schools. The student cadets who receive our awards are highly appreciative of the support received from our chapter and we are pleased to be involved in the development of future leaders within our society. Thanks to everyone for your generous support of our JROTC/ROTC program.

Chapter Officers and Board of Directors Nominating Committee
For our Chapter and membership it’s that time of year again where the Nominating Committee convenes to generate a slate of candidates to present to our chapter for
their consideration. The vote will determine who will be on our Board of Directors and who will hold officer positions in the chapter. The Committee is composed of three of our past presidents: Arlan Allen, Karl Pfitzer, Bob Delker, and Member-at-large, Marti Pearce.
This year we have a particularly difficult task ahead as we will need to fill a number of positions that will be vacated at the end of 2015. These positions include: President, 1st Vice President, Treasurer, Auxiliary Vice President, Secretary and two at-large board members.
For the Committee to do its job effectively we are soliciting the support of all chapter members. If any member or
spouse has a desire to serve the chapter either on the board, as an officer, or in any other capacity we sincerely ask that you contact one of the Committee members. The recent successes of the Chapter (MOAA 5 Star award again; support of our ROTC and JROTC programs; and the Auxiliary’s Packages From Home program) are a direct result of the efforts of each chapter member working with your board. The Committee is asking each chapter member to please consider taking a leadership role in our chapter for 2016. If you have any questions please contact one of the Committee members or any of the board members. Our 2016 slate of candidates must be published in our November 2015 newsletter. From the Nominating Committee, thank you in advance for your continuing support.
Newsletter Editor Marlene Fox As the Newsletter Editor, I strive to minimize errors. There will be times that mistakes occur. If you notice any errors please let me know. I would appreciate any input on articles you might think would be appropriate for the newsletter. It would also be helpful if all address changes, corrections, or email changes were sent
to me so I can insure you receive the newsletter without delay. [email protected] - 1151 N Joshua Tree Lane, Gilbert, AZ 85234
