ANAers!! 

Please pass this information to ALL HANDS!

Please read carefully the few administrative notes that follow.  Then go to the attachment for lots of news and announcements of two television series that highlight US Navy aircraft carriers.

First some admin ‘stuff -

MEMBERSHIP APPLICATIONS – We continue to see too many old membership application and renewal forms, most of which are terribly incorrect.  Please go to our web site at http://www.anahq.org, look around for a while - then, after you are completely awed, click on “MEMBERSHIP “on the left-hand side of the opening page, which will take you to our recruiting brochure at http://www.anahq.org/Membership.htm.  Clicking on the yellow background “JOIN HERE” will take you to http://www.anahq.org/012908MembershipApp.pdf for the correct form.

MEMBERSHIP DATABASE ISSUES!!

MOVING?  Please help!  The mailing list used to send membership their copies of WINGS OF GOLD is generated from our regular membership rolls.  Ann Burton, our Membership Coordinator, works especially hard to ensure those rolls are ship-shape so, among lots of things, each of us receives our copies of the magazine.  Unfortunately, we receive far too many notifications of failure to deliver WINGS OF GOLD, usually because the member has moved without mail forwarding instructions.  Please – pass the word throughout your squadrons to have members keep their addresses up to date with Ann.

RANK, STATUS  - The membership database reflects ONLY that information members provide on their membership applications or renewals.  If the member puts no rank on the application, “Mr.” is entered.  If the member signs up as an ENS and doesn’t update his rank for 20 years+, it will still be ENS when he retires.  The same is true for military status, active duty or retired.  Unfortunately, promotions don’t earn extra points but it would be nice if we could make the database as accurate as possible – please make sure all your personal information is as up-to-date and complete as possible.
