1 The Luke Chapter Luke Chapter Arizona NewsGram Est Military Officers Association The Grand Canyon State of America Volume 25 Issue 1 Visit October 2016 President s Message by Dennis DeFrain RESIGNATION With deep regret, I must let you know that I have submitted my resignation as President of Luke Chapter. I was really looking forward to this second year as President because I have so enjoyed working with the Chapter Board of Directors and with each and every one of you! I want to especially thank you for your generous donations of time and money to the philanthropic activities of the Chapter. You have done so above and beyond the call of duty and for that, I thank you very much! Unfortunately, health issues for both Carol and I have come up this summer and I don t feel that I can fulfill the duties of the office in a manner that both you and the Chapter deserve. In mid-april, Carol was diagnosed with gallbladder cancer that has spread to other areas in the abdomen. So far she has had four months of chemo and has tolerated it quite well, but the prognosis is very uncertain at this point. In late July, I was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL). It is a slower progressing cancer and according to the National Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, it has generally not been associated with any environmental or external factors. However, they indicated there is sufficient evidence of an association between CLL/SLL and Agent Orange which was heavily used in Vietnam. I mention this only because if you are a Vietnam Veteran or know of a Vietnam Veteran who has been diagnosed with this disease you/they should immediately get in touch with the local VA office. They may provide certain entitlements and benefits which you have earned.

2 Your Luke Chapter is a wonderful organization and I know that each of you will continue to provide superb community service to the West Valley and at the same time enjoy the camaraderie of other members and their spouses. I wish you all the very best! Programs by Mike Kramer Luke Chapter s Own Reminisce?? Do you recognize the people in the photographs? Yes, they were young once! Get set for a fun and interesting program this evening, with Colonel Ron Lord and LCDR Jo-Anne ( Jodie ) Heinz as they walk down memory lane with our Chapter. Ron and Jodi will each share some favorite stories regarding personal experiences in their military careers. We don t know for sure what they will wind up telling us--- perhaps some of their adventures, personal accomplishments and satisfactions, meetings with interesting and occasionally famous people (or wanna bees ), fun and not so fun family times, wonderful and not so great postings, good bosses and not so good, maybe a few embarrassments that are funny now? In short, some of their cherished stories about the good ole days while serving our nation. They will regale our chapter members with the intimate stories that they love to tell close family and friends. November Program---Congressional Night Our featured speakers for the 10 November program will be two of Arizona s own congressional representatives. Hon. Kyrsten Sinema (Dem.) and Hon. Trent Franks (Rep.) will appear this evening and share their views on legislative issues of national importance on the military, the VA, retired and former military benefit programs, world and national events, and the recently concluded national elections. Both representatives love to respond to questions, so be thinking about what you might like to ask them. Mark it on your calendar and don t miss it!

3 Reminder on Grandview (GVT) Terrace Policies on Liquor and Tipping GVT does not have a liquor license. Luke Chapter purchases wine, beer and liquor which will be available for you to purchase. The cost will be $4.00 for a glass of wine, $3.00 for a bottle of beer and $5.00 for a mixed drink. GVT personnel will be pouring the drinks, but cannot accept the money, so it will be on the honor system. A basket will be sitting on the table and we are asking you to please put your money in this basket. If desired, you may bring in your own liquor, beer or wine. GVT will have hard liquor mixers available at no charge and if you bring your own wine, GVT will uncork it for you at no charge. GVT has a no-tipping policy. What they do have is an Employee Appreciation Fund which is divided among their non-salaried employees. Please contribute to this fund since no tip has been included in the price of your meal. We will have a box clearly marked Employee Appreciation Fund available. Also, a jar will be placed at the bar for the same purpose. Please remember that GVT cannot supply doggie bags. If you think you may not finish your meal and would like to take the remainder home with you, please bring a container to take away anything you may not eat. Luke Chapter Survey Results -- We Listened to Our Members! The October program addresses a recommendation coming out of the Member Survey conducted last Spring.

Your opinions matter. Please let me know your views on the programs we provide. Thank you!

Protect the Future. Vote. It got me thinking. There is great consequence to a vote. It sets in motion a train of events, for the good or the bad Federal Hall, New York City. George Washington was inaugurated our first President under America s newly ordained Constitution. Afterwards he took Vice President John Adams and the members of Congress to St. Paul s Chapel. There they worshipped and prayed together, committing the new government, with its important train of consequences, to the protection and blessing of the Most High. Washington did not need to call for that vote three times. They were all of one accord, desirous of preserving the new nation. President Abraham Lincoln was like-minded. He is on record as stating, Those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord. In the Spring of 1863, with the nation embroiled in a bitter and bloody Civil War, he called for a Day of Fasting and Prayer to God for His redeeming and preserving grace.

5 Another time, Lincoln said, I know the Lord is always on the side of the right. But it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord s side. Washington is called the Father of our Country. Lincoln, the Preserver of the Union. Washington was the popular choice for our first President. Lincoln narrowly won, and what if he had not? Every 4-year election is a matter of national consequence. What is the state of the Union today? Where are we headed? More of the same, or is there a better way? Every vote being a voice, how say you? Honor God. Implore His Will. Vote. Blessings Personal Affairs by Patrick Sherlock We all are saddened by the unexpected departure of our wonderful President Dennis DeFrain who has been a fabulous leader and innovator for our chapter. We will miss him but know our chapter has been a lot better because of Dennis and all of his hard work. We all wish Dennis and his wife Carol well and send our blessings and prayers to them. With summer coming to a fast close our minds are centered on returning to Arizona from Montana where we spend our summers and where the evenings are already dipping into the 40 s and high 30 s. Frost is on the way sometime soon. We have had a great summer with a few great visitors from Pebble Creek. As a retired attorney, I often get questions about income taxes, inheritance taxes, and estate taxes. It really depends on where you call home, Arizona or some other state. I call Montana home as I have lived here for 42 years and own property here. In checking the MOAA.org website they have a great primer on taxes and other benefits in each of the 50 states. Check it out -- you may be surprised and find out something you did not know. I sure did! Here s the link: Report-Detail.aspx Call or if questions. pdsherlock@centurylink.net, phone I hope to see you at one of our upcoming monthly meetings. Take care. Board Briefs May & September by Judi Blankenship The Executive Board met at 1300 hours on 5 May 2016 at Pebble- Creek. Following are highlights of the meeting: Dennis DeFrain introduced and welcomed new Board member COL Phil Hanson, Director, Legislative Affairs who will assume his position in the Fall.

Pam Wojtas, Immediate Past-President swore-in the following Board Members; Dennis DeFrain President, Pat Sherlock - 3rd Vice President, Don Fordney - Co-Treasurer, Linda Wolverton - Co-Secretary, and Judi Blankenship -Co-Secretary. Don Fordney reported that there will be 8 scholarship recipients at the 12 May dinner meeting. All eight will be escorted to the front by the Honor Guard. The Board is looking for replacements to fill the positions of First Vice-President and Co- Treasurer. Anyone interested should contact Jerry Wojtas or Dennis DeFrain. There have been 14,657 hits to our website since inception. The Executive Board met at 1300 hours on 8 September 2016 at Grandview Terrace. Following are highlights of the meeting: Pam Wojtas (Past President ) performed the ceremony to

6 induct Captain Robert Cowan as 2 nd Vice President and Linda Wolverton as Co-Treasurer. Board members wished outgoing President Dennis DeFrain, and his wife Carol, the very best and thanked Dennis for his devoted and selfless service to Luke Chapter members, MOAA, and our nation. Board Members provided updates to individual Strategic Plan objectives. Bob Cowan and Jerry Wojtas will be attending the MOAA Symposium in Las Vegas, 23 September, for our Chapter. Linda Wolverton will be attending the MOAA National Convention in Washington D.C. on 25 October for our Chapter.

The menus are set for this program year and programs are defined for all Luke Chapter dinner events but one. An accurate number of Website hits is unavailable at this time due to GoDaddy, our host, doing work. As of this date, the total hits to our website for September is 368. Members can find Minutes of Monthly Board Meetings, NewsGrams, applications to join Luke Chapter, and a link to National on Luke Chapter s website Legislative Corner by Phil Hanson We acknowledge Lou Tronzo s dedicated service to the chapter as the Legislative Affairs Director. In the future, this column will be devoted to state, county and city legislative subjects. There is plenty of national information to be found at and other websites. Two issues will probably come up in the next legislature. First is raising the amount that can be deducted from state income tax for military pension income. The current amount is $2500. The latest discussion proposed was an increase to $5000. At the present time, Arizona ranks in the lowest quartile in ranking of all 50 states. There has been no change since 1989 when the original deduction was authorized by the Legislature. The second issue concerns possible changes to the Military Families Emergency Relief Fund (MFRF). It was established to support military families emergency needs, but limited to post 9/11 veterans. Funding is through state tax credit contributions to the fund, limited to a maximum total contribution of $1,000,000, an amount that has been reached since its inception. The total average annual distribution has been about $500,000 leaving close to $5,000,000 in the account. There is some discussion on opening the fund to all veterans. There is some opposition because tax sheltered contributions were for a specific group and it would be illegal to change the intent. There are a number of state legislative races which won t be settled until the general election, but it s not too early to make contacts if you know who will represent you. Vet Events by Jerry Wojtas Many of our chapter members are also members of other military organizations. Each of these organizations tries to support the efforts of the others. Here is a listing of upcoming activities that may be of interest to you. The Traveling Wall is coming to El Mirage on 4 thru 6 Nov at Gateway Park.
