About 35 members of the Green Valley Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) and their guests met in the clubhouse lounge on March 21 for their second annual Mix & Mingle. They were greeted by piano sounds as Quail Creek resident Cyndy Gierada provided the musical entertainment for the evening. When Cyndy played the hymns of the various military services, there was competition among the attendees over who could sing the loudest as their hymn was played.
Highlight of the evening was a Silent Auction to raise funds for MOAA’s various projects. Although bidding started out slowly, competition became more intense as Joe Longo began to call out how much time was left to bid. In the end, the group earned $1125 to support its mission.
Any officers and warrant officers, active duty, former and retired who would like more information about MOAA are asked to contact Membership Chair Joe Longo at 509-945-4993. For more information on the local chapter, please visit www.greenvalleymoaa.org.
