Huge shout‑out to A1C Beard for going above and beyond in support of our Meals on Wheels mission. This past Tuesday, he personally helped deliver 35 meals to members of our community who rely on that support.

Service doesn’t stop at the uniform — and A1C Beard proves it every day. Outstanding work!

Teammates,

Reminder we will be having our General Membership Meeting tomorrow at 1100. It will be held in the 2nd floor conference room of the Cardinal Creek Golf Course.

Any questions or concerns please email me at [email protected].

Thank you and look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

What an amazing opportunity!

What an amazing opportunity!

I visited with Brandon Gaskins, President of the Air Force Sergeants Association Chapter 872, this morning at my Mascoutah office. We discussed several issues facing enlisted servicemembers and their families at Scott Air Force Base, including the Pay Our Troops Act, which I am proud to cosponsor. This bill would guarantee military pay continues uninterrupted during any government shutdown, because the men and women who serve this country should never have to wonder if their paycheck is coming.

Good morning and Happy Friday!

As we close out April, Month of the Military Child, AFSA Chapter 872 is gathering stories from our military families enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP).

We know that navigating PCS moves, securing consistent medical care, and ensuring your child’s needs are met can be some of the most challenging parts of military life.

If your family has experienced difficulties transferring from base to base, delays in care, or obstacles in getting the right support for your child, we invite you to share your story.

Your voice helps highlight the real challenges our families face and strengthens our advocacy efforts at every level.

You may share in the comments, message the page privately, or request contact information if you prefer. Every experience matters, and your perspective can help drive meaningful change for families across the force.

Thank you for your courage, your resilience, and your willingness to speak up for those who need it most.

|Chapter President|
Teammates,

Due to a lot happening over the past two weeks and the entire Executive Council being out. The General Membership meeting was moved to next week. We apologize for the confusion and not always getting the word out quick enough.

Please join us if able at the Scott AFB Golf Course, upstairs conference room next Wednesday, 15 April, at 1100. We will be recapping an exciting March, voting for delegates for the upcoming Division 3 Convention and talking on some legislative items we are going to get after in the future.

Hope to see you all there!

Please reach out with questions or concerns at [email protected]

AFSA Chapter 872 wishes everyone a safe, peaceful, and happy Easter weekend. Whether you’re celebrating with loved ones, enjoying some well‑earned rest, or supporting the mission, we hope the holiday brings you renewal and connection.

If you’re looking for local ways to enjoy the weekend, here are a few community events happening around the area:

🐾 Ladue Egg Hunt for Pets (Apr 4)
Thousands of treat‑filled eggs, three hunt times, and a visit from the Easter Bunny — a fun outing for families and their pups. Proceeds support St. Louis English Bulldog Rescue.

🍽️ Easter Family Brunch at 612North (Apr 5)
A chef‑curated brunch overlooking the Gateway Arch, complete with a photo opportunity with the Easter Bunny. Reservations required.

🐣 Eckert’s Farm Egg‑Citement in Belleville, IL
Egg hunts, spring activities, and visits with the Easter Bunny — a classic family‑friendly Easter tradition.

If you’re traveling or participating in holiday activities, please take care on the roads and look out for one another. Your safety and well‑being remain our priority.

From our chapter to yours — wishing you a wonderful holiday weekend!
