PRESIDENT'S WELCOME

(James Haney, Major, U.S.Marine Corps Retired)

Welcome to the Sun City Center Chapter (MOAA) serving South Hillsborough County & surrounding communities.  While our Chapter is located in Sun City Center, we encourage qualified active, retired or former commissioned officers of the seven uniformed services of the United States from Apollo Beach, Brandon, Gibsonton, Lithia, Riverview, Ruskin, Valrico, and Wimauma to visit and join our Chapter.  We meet for a luncheon the first Wednesday of the month during September through June in the “Florida Room” located on the main campus of Sun City Center (945 North Course Lane). Our meetings start at 11:00, and include a social gathering, brief business session, a catered buffet meal with several entrees, and a guest speaker. 

We are a very active Chapter with over 181 members serving as the coordinating veteran’s organization for the community Memorial Day Commemoration Service where all military veterans in the community who passed during the time since the last service are recognized with a “Living Flag Tribute”.  In addition we recognize JROTC Honor Cadets and award scholarships at nine high schools in South Hillsborough County. 

We celebrated our 29th anniversary in 2019 of being chartered as a chapter of MOAA and recognized all living original members. The chapter has been recognized with the MOAA “Five Star Level of Excellence Award “ in recognition of the combined efforts of our members. We welcome you and encourage you to join us.  The prestige and influence of MOAA rests in the strength of all chapters and we need your support.  See the About US page for more detailed information and you can submit your application by selecting the Join Us page.

We are a 501(c)19 non-profit Veteran service organization and donations made to support Chapter activities may be eligible for a tax deduction.  Consult with your tax adviser.
