Reasons
to Join the Portland Chapter
If you’re on active duty, a National Guard or Reserve officer, retired
or served earlier, you should consider joining the Portland Chapter of
MOAA. Dues are only $25 a year. Here are a few reasons why you should
join:
• Strength is in numbers, and when we stand together we can get much
more accomplished to benefit our brave service members and to take care
of our members who have served.
• Our chapter helps support retired veterans at their home in The Dalles.
• We support our courageous soldiers of the Oregon National Guard who
are deployed on operations outside the state and overseas.
• We help keep the military in front of area young people and the public
and tout the benefits of serving our country.
• We participated in 2006 in the fight to keep the Oregon ANG 142nd
Fighter Wing in Portland, which was successful.
• Earlier, we fought Oregon’s unfair taxation of military retirees (and
other federal retirees) who were being taxed on their retirement income
when other retirees were not. Our Portland Chapter joined with other
groups to fight this, taking it to the state Supreme Court. We won, and
today you may benefit from that if you’re retired. If you’re not retired
yet, you could benefit from it when you do.
• We participate statewide in activities sponsored by the State Council
of Chapters of MOAA and the United Veterans Groups of Oregon to tackle
state legislative issues affecting you and other veterans around Oregon.
Your membership in the Portland Chapter supports these worthwhile
efforts.
Other issues will arise in the future
– they always do – and we’ll be ready to go to bat for you. Consider
membership like insurance: We’ll be there when you need us.
We hold monthly meetings most of the year on the first Tuesdays at
various locations. Please check our newsletter on this page for the
location and time. You are invited to join us: like-minded fellow
officers and their spouses. The fellowship at our gatherings is
wonderful.
Your membership in the Portland Chapter of MOAA keeps your voice in
Washington strong as well as in the state’s capital and here at home.
Dues are only $25 a year. Please support your local chapter.
You can send a check for $25, made out to PDX-MOAA, to our mailing
