This evening AIWA President William Buchanan opened the meeting at 7:05pm. There were lots of pepperoni pizza, mini crackers and soda pop. Attending were Juan del Rio, Ozzie Monge, Joaquin Sandoval, Heather Chalot and Roy Cook. Discussion on topical issues regarding veterans is a constant priority: PTSD and the various levels as recognized by the Veterans Administration, values clarification on personal, financial and professional behavior toward life goals and objectives.

2. The AIWA Holiday dinner is moved to TBA.
