Welcome from Randy Dymond, Grand Strand Chapter President
Thank you for visiting our website and checking us out. The Grand Strand Chapter of MOAA is beginning its 60th year as a local veterans organization with national ties and I am proud and honored to serve as its new president. Our chapter is an active one with 145 members whose primary mission is to assist and support local veterans who have served as well as young folks who are considering serving. Our robust fundraising efforts throughout the year enable us to provide material and financial assistance to needy veterans as well as college scholarships to area JROTC cadets.
Our chapter generally holds dinner meetings on the second Tuesday of each month (except July and August) at the Pine Lakes Country Club in Myrtle Beach. A line up of interesting speakers and honored guests is planned over the course of the year to make for a balanced program of events for our members, their spouses and prospective newcomers. If you have any questions about our chapter or any of its programs, feel free to give me a call at 325-271-3069.
