PJ’s Pit Stop

A message from the Vice President

For those wondering if Chapter 37 is still functioning, the answer is Yes, Airborne!

While the Pandemic hit us like high winds on a Drop Zone, we survived and will move forward with the Esprit de Corp the Special Forces is known for.

It gives C37 much pleasure to announce a new Chapter Officer Bill Stach! Bill, a former Jump Master with the 12th SFG(A) has stepped in the door to take charge as C37’s Secretary. Bill has honorably served for many years in the 12th as an Aviation NCO and after he was Honorably Discharged, he Reupped when conflict broke out in the Middle East and continued his service and mission with the Special Forces. A big tip of the Beret to Bill Stach for stepping up and filling that slot! We Thank You and have the upmost confidence that You will do C37 and the Special Forces Association proud.

C37 still has the Treasurer position open, so please help us out and become a C37 Officer!

The Pandemic had shut our fund raising down for the past three years, besides monthly meetings and a 2021 Dinner cruise and Christmas party, we have not had our usual Fundraising activities. Because of that and the untimely passing of our Newsletter Editor/Past President Paul Medici, we were forced to make financial decisions, painful ones at that. We can not spend monies we do not have, so the quarterly “Sneaky Pete” was put on hold for the time being. Kathy Patterson, wife of our C37 Quartermaster Toby Patterson, stepped up and volunteered her time to revive the Pete. As I type this update to you, we are working diligently to get the Sneaky Pete to the printers. Thank You Kathy! Get ready and Stand in the door……..Green Light soon!

The Chapter 37 Events have been updated and I will continue to update this website as often as I am able in the future.

We hope to see everyone at our monthly meetings and 12th Alumni at the 2022 reunion coming up in July. Hopefully a gallon a gas will be under $10 but I am not holding my breath! Chapter Picnic and Mississippi Dinner Cruise soon, so save the date.

In 2023, we will have our Annual Military Ball, Golf Outing and with calm winds, be back to normal, with a soft PLF!

Another tip of the Beret to Jim Shaffer for his generous donation of items that will be up for auction at an upcoming event. Thanks Jim, AATW!
