Hawaii Air Force Association - Chapter 138
Aloha! Welcome to Chapter 138, your AFA organization in Hawai‘i. We
began our 61st year sponsoring the Hawai`i State Science Fair and ended it
with the establishment of six scholarship programs—a first in AFA
Hawai`i’s history. Chapter 138 supported Air Force Week Honolulu with
events and hard work dedicated to recognizing the significance of Air
and Space to our nation's defense. Our members spent countless hours in
the community speaking to schools, mentoring young people of all ages,
and promoting the values of integrity and service.
As we move forward with our premier
program—Atterbury Circle Historical Park on Hickam AFB—we are committed
to shaping that landmark into a proud commemoration of personnel and
units who have made Pacific Air and Space power great. Additionally, we
will expand our educational program and strengthen our community ties
with veterans organizations, the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, and
local businesses who have interest in promoting education in science
and technology.
Why not join us? We’re into the mach now, but
we're not going to cruise. Chapter 138 is poised for another rapid
ascent during 2009. Mahalo to those who contributed so much in 2008 and
welcome to those who are striving for excellence in 2009.
Mahalo,
Nora Ruebrook
President, AFA Hawai‘i Chapter 138
