Meetings: 1st Wednesday of Every Month at the Davis Area Convention and Visitors Bureau Conference Room

Text Box: On September 13, we held our 14th Annual Chili Cook-off at the Hill AFB Museum. The cook-off was held in conjunction with “open cockpit” day at the museum, and for the first time we coordinated the event with Chapter 237’s Ride for Pride. Thirteen teams participated in the preparation and serving of various forms of chili. The proceeds from the Chili Cook-off enabled our chapter to present a check for $2,000 to the Military Family Foundation to support the Airman and Family Readiness Center’s Hearts Apart Program. We invite you all to attend the Brent Scowcroft awards banquet which honors the best performers in the Missile, Space and C3I communities. The banquet, tentatively scheduled for March 18, 2009, will be held at the Davis Convention Center.
