Information on the Palmer club trying to charter can be found at www.matsutm.org

Elmendorf and Ft. Richardson folks meet each Wednesday at noon in the Elmendorf Hospital.  Our “standard” meeting room is the Radiology Conference Room. Periodically we get bumped and then meet in a conference room off of the cafeteria.  You are more than welcome to attend.  If you don’t have access to the base, then we have to jump through a few extra hoops to have you signed in by an appropriately-badged person.  So, if anyone wants to visit the club, they’ll need to contact: Jane Thomas (907) 350-8929 or Tami Estep (907) 580-6805 (w) or 726-0981 (h)

Eileen Wallace is just starting to explore options for a club on Ft. Wainwright, and would love for her to have someone volunteer to help her! Her contact numbers are 353-9136 (work) and 978-8487 (cell) ewallace@gci.net
