Jacque Torson '06
Bill Torson '06
Sean Martin '96
Bill Price '73
Rhet Turnbull '95
Dave Webster '80

A motion was made & seconded to vote for the office of Vice President. All present voted for Jacque to continue as VP. A motion was made & seconded to vote for the office of Secretary. All present voted for Ed Yong to continue as Secretary.

Jacque showed off her t-shirt design. I think we should now explore how much it would cost to get t-shirts printed and poll the members for interest. I recapped some of the things we'd done this year as a chapter and mentioned the upcoming All Academy Ball. I also mentioned that the Chapter had made a donation for the Ball. The Ball is on 26 Dec 10 in the Patriot Club.

 Jon Stevens asked that we continue to pass along any news on USAFA sporting events in the local area as well as any USAFA events that will be televised.

Meeting adjourned at 1230.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Heartland-Lemay Chapter
Association of Graduates Alumni
Chapter Officials’ Meeting
28 Sep 10

Due to circumstances beyond control, quarterly meetings for 2010 were put on back burner.  We had virtual meetings through e-mail communications.  The first in-person quarterly meeting was on 28 Sep 10.

Present for the meeting: 

      President: Rhet Turnbull
      Treasurer: Jeff Blank
      Liaison to Liaison Officers: TAD Draper
      Secretary:   Ed Yong

 Location: Siam Cuisine

Agenda: Quarterly Meeting

Meeting Called to Order: 1130

 Old Business:  No old business.

 New Business:

1. Discussion on the All Service Academies group in LinkedIn.  The group is making an all service academies

site that is similar to LinkedIn that is for any academy grad.  The site would be tied in with the various

service academy grad group databases to verify grads so that not anybody can just come in and abuse the system.

The site has many benefits with communications - job postings among grads, information among grads, help track

local chapter activities, etc.  The beta testing soon and we are welcome to participate.

2. TAD checking with the ALOs on a potential chapter Leader of character award for a high school in Kearney.

The chapter Leader of Character award helps provide that extra visibility of service academies to potential

candidates where the ALOs are interested in it as a vehicle in helping recruitment.  (Ed Yong will carry on

for TAD until a new Chapter LO for the ALOs is confirmed).

3. Our present President, Rhet Turnbull, will be PCSing next summer.  Any prospective candidates for President

of our local AOG chapter please begin prepping.

4. The All Academies Ball will be 26 Dec 10 in the Patriot Club.  This year is hosted by the parents club of

USAFA cadets.

 Meeting adjourned: 1230

Note: It is with great sorrow that this was TAD's last Chapter meeting.  TAD passed away later the same evening from a heart attack.  Here's a toast to the host...
