Message From The PSC MOAA President
Members,
In October 2024, I told the membership that my leadership philosophy was that “if we build it, they will come,” meaning if we have creative ideas, activities, and speakers, our membership will grow. At that first meeting, there were only 13 attendees. To date, we have eight new members in the last seven months and our general membership meetings have grown to over 40 members attending. The Palm Springs Chapter of MOAA has great momentum and is moving forward to a bright future.
