Message from the Chairman -
2010
The Phoenix Board and I look forward to another year
filled with activities and events for the benefit of
you, our members. We will be celebrating our 40th
anniversary of the Phoenix Society in June!! That
is a very good thing. We were established in an
NSA memorandum signed by ADM Noel Gayler on 22 July 1970
and we have weathered 40 years of changes and still
remain a strong association. A number of events
(cocktail party at the Museum, golf tournament, luncheon
at Blobs Park to name a few) are planned for the week of
21 June so please join in the celebration and enjoy the
festivities and visiting with friends.
The Phoenix Society provides a great way to stay in
touch with friends and acquaintances who have retired.
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be retired
to join. All the benefits of the Phoenix Society
can be yours before you retire. The following list
will give you an idea of what we will be doing in 2010.
In brief, automatic DOD ID card procedures will be put
into place this year by Security and HR allowing all
retiring NSA civilians to get their ID cards when they
retire; financial seminar programs sponsored by Drake-Kinzer
Wealth Services and TFCU will continue; we will continue
to sponsor, with the Agency, a retiree day in October at
the SECRET level; our retiree day at Fort Gordon was a
terrific success and we will try to extend that
opportunity to other areas of the country; we have
a number of new trips planned; our publication of the
Post Crypt and The Phoenician will continue to provide
news and information from retirees local and around the
world; we will continue to provide insights on job
opportunities for those still interested in being a part
of the workforce after retirement; our history items
will continue and we will look for additional
opportunities to provide logo items to our population.
We are always interested in identifying new and
innovative ways to support you. We’d like to hear
from you. Please send ideas and comments to the
Phoenix Society by mail, email, or drop into the office
if you are in the building and visit the staff.
Our board meets once a month and we look forward to
discussing your suggestions. Have a terrific
2010!!!

President and Chairman
