The 79th annual meeting of the CWOA was held in Portland Maine from April 16th through the 18th and was attended by approximately 40 members. We are a growing organization despite our advancing age. Approximately 50/50 active duty and retired between the attendees. The ROcky Coast (Portland)Club did a great job manning the hospitality room and showing everytone a great time.

Mark your calendar for April 30, May 1 and 2 2009 for the 80th annual meeting to be held in Tampa Florida. We (the Suncoast) have great plans for this affair including a 7 day carribean cruise (not on the great white fleet)! For more info contact me. Bill Reetz
