The leaderboard is beginning to take shape, but there is still plenty of time to make a move. Remember, walking, running, and hiking activities count toward the challenge, so keep logging those miles and representing your Chapter with pride.

Every step counts. Whether you're out for a lunchtime walk, an evening run, or a weekend hike, your miles help your team climb the standings.

Keep moving, stay motivated, and let's see who will rise to the top!

Today I visited Charlie Dalzell and celebrated his 80th birthday party. Charlie was the Division 8 President before the merger into Division 3 and sat on the AFSA International Board as the Reserve Trustee.
Thank you Charlie for serving AFSA

Happy Wednesday Division 1!

We need your help. Please go into your AFSA account and verify your profiles are up to date. Especially addresses, phone numbers and emails.

Your executive council is working their way through the chapter rosters to the best of our abilities so that we can send out notifications to the chapters.

If you are not seeing emails from AFSA HQ, check your junk mail. They send out emails weekly. If you are not seeing them at all, you may have at one time clicked a button that took HQs ability to email you away. This can be easily fixed by going to HQAFSA.ORG, scroll to the bottom of the main page to the Be Informed block and subscribe to the E-news letter and Military & Government Brief.

I have attached a picture as to why this is needed/helpful. This picture is of all the letters being sent out to 1 chapter due to no phone numbers or emails listed, or members who have taken themselves off the email list from HQs. This is 238 letters. We have already done this for 3 other chapters who are considered inactive due to not having an active chapter. This same chapter had over 500 members without emails. This can be a bit costly in supplies such as stamps, envelopes, paper, etc.

If you do not remember your login, you can reach out to HQs directly or to one of us on the division executive council and we can work with HQs to get you updated.

We are here to support you and your needs! Thank you for all that you do in your chapters and we hope to see as many of you as possible in Orlando in August at the Summit!

Did you know you can message VA staff in real time without needing to go to a VA facility? Veterans can get support for non-life-threatening health questions or concerns with the VA Health Chat app. https://mobile.va.gov/app/va-health-chathttps://mobile.va.gov/app/va-health-chat

We are in the final stretch of our data collection to help gather data on how we can help improve childcare for our Division Chapters and beyond. We have the ability to narrow down data for each chapter and category, which can be shared with local installations for review. Your participation would help see what areas of childcare may need fine tuning or adjustment that can possibly be handled at the local level, with the overall data being used, to assist our potential legislative proposal.

If you have children, 12 and under, and currently serving or have spouses serving the military please participate. Even if you do not currently have issues or need specific relief.

We are also looking for members who have served in the last 4 years and during your time had childcare related experience you would like to share.
