President's Report
Fourth
Quarter – 2009
Ah yes, it's that time of year again to watch football and eat turkey, not necessarily in that order. Again, I probably overindulged on the eating side but everything looks so good. Hopefully, everyone had a superb Thanksgiving with family or friends. On behalf of the entire MMA Executive Board, I want to pass along our best wishes for a joyous Christmas season and a prosperous new year!
MMA Annual Membership Meeting, 29 JAN 10, 1500 hours: The Annual General Membership Meeting date has been changed from January 22 to January 29, 2010. Make your calendars! MMA will recognize the 2009 "Soldier of the Year" and conduct our annual membership meeting at Pool Indoor Range. There will be a drawing for a $100 gift certificate.
Columbus State University (CSU) Rifle Team: As I mentioned in our last MMA Times, the Executive Board received an overview briefing from CSU's Rifle Team Head Coach Mike Greene. Mike is very enthusiastic about CSU's new team and their introduction into Div I for the shooting sports. Unlike other sports, shooting competes on the same level regardless of the program size. CSU will compete against ALL colleges and universities in the country. In their first outing, CSU won both the small bore and air-rifle events over North Georgia College. Due to CSU's close proximity to Fort Benning and USAMU, MMA sees a close relationship developing between the shooters of CSU and USAMU. This close relationship should enhance both programs and possibly lead to recruiting a CSU shooter to USAMU. More information can be obtained about CSU's new shooting team at www.csucougars.com. If the mood moves you, monetary donations can be sent to the following address: CSU, 4225 University Ave, Attn: Athletic Director, Columbus, GA 31907. Make sure you designate for the "Rifle Team."
USAMU 50th Anniversary Commemorative Book: The USAMU store still has copies of the 50th Anniversary book for sale, $50 (original publisher price was $55.95) + shipping/handling of $13 ($63 total). Order on line through the MMA website or send Sam Hunter a short note. "Get them, while we got them."
MMA War Veterans Status: MMA remains a War Veterans Organization and consequently, any donations to our organization are tax deductible to the donor under IRS Code section 170 (c) (3). End of year gifting is in full swing so get your 2009 tax deductible donations into Sam Hunter, our treasurer, ASAP!
New MMA Life Members: I would like to recognize our newest MMA Life member: CPT (Ret) Glenn Dubis. Thanks for your commitment and dedication to our association. Hooah!
Respectfully,
Bob Hoidahl
MMA President
