President's Message
R. Dennis Lennon, CDR, USNR, (Ret.)
I'm pleased that you have found the official web site of the Tar Heel Central Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA). We are over 100 men and women representing the armed forces in Winston-Salem and the surrounding counties of north central North Carolina.
- We are a 501(c)(19) organization incorporated as a non profit corporation under the laws of North Carolina and recognized by the IRS as tax exempt. While we do not support any political candidate or party, we are proud of our relations with the elected officials from our community, locally, statewide, and nationally. All of them support our men and women in the service and have gone out of their way to participate with us in our efforts on behalf of our military brethren.
- Our members include active duty, reserve, retired, and former officers who range from warrant to flag officer, and every rank in between. We are not only active in MOAA, but are leaders of local community businesses, physicians, educators and citizens who voluntarily serve in a wide range of local charitable or service organizations. Aside from the camaraderie that we share at meetings, our members continue the traditions of leadership that they developed in their military careers.
- We participate in our North Carolina MOAA Council of Chapters, and work in harmony with other local veterans organizations.
- Our chapter actively supports the Junior ROTC units in Forsyth and the surrounding counties, plus the ROTC program at Wake Forest University.
- If you are a present or former officer, we are friends who have shared many of your experiences. As an active, retired or former officer of one of the seven uniformed services, you are most welcome to visit, and join the Tar Heel Central Chapter of MOAA.
