AREA’s
main communications tool is the quarterly Newsletter, which is
published in January, April, July and October. The Newsletter
contains the latest retiree news: AREA and chapter happenings; what
we’re doing to protect your retirement benefit; news from AAFES,
Congress, DoD and other government programs; the latest from our
benefit providers and a health and benefits section in which AAFES
provides up-to-day information about insurance, retirement benefits
and 40l (k) programs.
The Newsletter is also our official communications
medium for providing election forms for national offices and changes
to the constitution and by-laws.
Lastly, we tell you about how AREA and its members
are making life better for those around us through the Emergency
Relief Fund, the Community Service Program, the Scholarship Program,
and groups and individuals participating in ongoing volunteer
efforts.
MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY The
Membership Directory is printed and distributed every three years and
contains the names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of
