Chaplain’s Corner – July 2022
When you see pictures of the house, you see terrified inhabitants hunched in fear. Frozen in time, the people of Pompeii still give testimony to the violence that destroyed their city.
In 79 AD they believed Vesuvius was just another mountain. Meanwhile, enormous underground pressure grew until it blasted the upper third of the mountain into the atmosphere. Then a deluge of superheated volcanic gas and ash slammed down on the doomed city. Hundreds died in the ruins leaving their bodies molded in ash for future generations to discover.
Those who escaped could only watch helplessly as Vesuvius, the landmark of their city, was disfigured into its tombstone. Their world had collapsed.
Surviving Spouse Corner – July 2022
Many of the MOAA Chapters in Florida take the summer off. I had hoped to start the summer with the MOAA STATE CONVENTION. Unfortunately, I had to miss it because I had contacted Covid. Looking through the attendee list, I did not see many names of Surviving Spouse Liaisons. I hope that many of you can make arrangements to come to the Florida Forum in January 2023. There will be programs for you and Spouses at this gathering. When the date is officially announced, clear your calendar. Make attendance a priority.
Before that there is an opportunity to attend the MOAA National Meeting in October 2022 in Kansas City. Watch for more information.
Fun in the Sun
The MOAA Florida Council of Chapters (FCOC) Annual Convention is set for June 9th – 12th at the West Palm Beach Marriott.

The fun will include a Mystery Dinner Theater Dinner and a Casino Night Fundraiser for the MOAA Foundation, along with optional trips, outings, and adven-tures!
Surviving Spouse Corner – Mar 2022
Hello, today it feels like spring. I want to go outside and feel the warmth of the sun on my face. If that Punxsutawney rodent is correct, it will be Spring in two more weeks. This is a time of renewal. If you haven’t paid your dues YET, do it today. Come to the next meeting and greet old friends, and make some new ones.
