Exchange Leadership Change

AREA Scholarship Program donations are down

Funding for the AREA Scholarship Program has fallen off during the last few years and we need your help to keep this important program going. See more information on this issue from our new Scholarship Program Director Michelle Priester on page 6. The Scholarship Donation Form is on page 17. Please give generously. It’s tax deductible and it means a whole lot to a number of Exchange kids!

David Nelson is the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (Exchange). He succeeded Mike Howard as COO. As COO, he directs overall operation of the Ex-change by supervising the Operations Group and staff elements that directly support all Exchange activities. With its headquarters in Dallas, the Exchange is the No. 52 retail organization in the U.S. with annual revenue of $8.5 billion, employing about 35,000 associates, including a small contingent of military. The Exchange operates de-partment and convenience stores, gas stations, restaurants, theaters, vending and other businesses on military installations in all 50 states, five U.S. territories and 33 countries.

Mr. Nelson began his Exchange career as a Branch Store Retail Man-ager after completing the Retail Management Training Program in Kaiserslautern, Germany. Since that time, Mr. Nelson has held a varie-ty of Exchange positions, with operations management experience at a variety of stores, executive management experience in five General Manager positions, two Area Manager assignments, plus he was Vice President in the Real Estate Directorate. He was promoted to his first Senior Vice President (SVP) position in the Real Estate Directorate, followed by SVP responsibility for Western Region. He took over sen-ior leadership of Central Region in February 2013 and his current po-sition as COO in February 2016.

Mr. Nelson has deployed to Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003, helping stand up operations and ultimately serving as the General Manager for the greater Baghdad operations footprint.

Mr. Nelson graduated from Eastern New Mexico University with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree and has completed Executive Development Programs at Texas A & M University, the University of Arkansas and the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.

Mr. Nelson is the son of a career Air Force service member and the son-in-law of a career Army Soldier.

We will hear more from Mr. Nelson in our December issue of the AREA newsletter.

The Officers of the Association – Chuck Poffenbarger (P), Tom Gallagher (VP), Terry Corley (T) and Don

Smith (S) wish you and yours a Happy and Rewarding Fall season.

The AREA has a non-voting representative on the AAFES Pension Plan. Ken Weaver recently resigned as the AREA Representative on the Trustees board and Terry Corley agreed to move from Alternate to AREA Representative. Renee Figge, recently retired as AAFES CFO, agreed to be the Alternate. The nomina-tions were approved via e-mail by the AREA Executive Officers (voting members) during the period August 8-12. Congratulations to Terry and Renee on their ap-pointments, and thanks to Ken for his many contribu-tions in support of the AAFES Pension Plan.

In the July Newsletter, I stated that we’re looking at the possibility of converting the Newsletter to an electronic publication only, much like the Exchange Post, and asked for your opinions in a survey.

We received 28 responses with 14 supporting a change, and 14 stating that would willing to pay higher dues (about $2 per issue) for a printed edition. Most of the ’no’ votes, i.e., not supporting and electronic edition on-ly, were made by members who don’t have a computer or feel they get too much email already. One member said, “I hate electronic booklets.” Nevertheless, given the publishing, mailing and other

costs associated with the current program, we’ll con-tinue to pursue this alterna-tive means of distributing the Newsletter. I’ll keep you informed of events as they unfold.

Finally, in July, I also said “AREA files have moved from President to President over the years.” As you might expect, many if not most are incomplete. I have collected as much infor-mation as I can from various members and have placed a great deal of it on our web site at http://www.aafes.com/about-exchange/retired-employees-association/.

I received requests for some albums, which I have crossed out below. (The N. Texas chapter wanted the American flag.) Four albums and three flags remain. If you want them, let me know within the next month or two and I’ll mail them to you. If not, I’ll have no choice but to destroy them.

Low Cost of Living (COLA) Predictions for December 2017 pension payments and Social

Security

Pension funding remains strong!

According to Dr. Jim Webb, Investment Manager, FA-Treasury, Pen-sions & Investments “The funding status of the Basic pension plan cur-rently hovers around 90%. This represents approximately $4 billion in assets. The General Accounting Office considers anything above 75% to be adequately funded.”

The Social Security Act provides for an automatic increase in benefits if there is an increase in inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners (CPI-W). The COLA for 2017 would be based on the increase in the third-quarter average CPI-W for 2016 over the third quarter of 2014 (the last year in which a COLA became effective). The government will announce the So-cial Security COLA for 2017 this month (October).

With another month to go before the COLA is announced, current predictions are that retirees will receive a very small (less than 1% adjustment) to their December annuity payments and January Social Security checks.

While this is disappointing news to all of us, it’s better than nothing. Any COLA is a blessing in my view. Many corporate pension plans don’t provide a COLA adjustment at all, or only on occasion, as voted on by their board of directors. Having a pension has also become a thing of the past for many Americans.

Another prediction in the news is that per-beneficiary costs in Medicare’s Part B (outpatient services) will rise 3.1 percent next year. Even so, if the Social Security COLA is very low, the monthly premium for Part B could stay flat at $104.90 per month for the third consecutive year.

Is the shingles vaccine covered by the DoD NAF plan?

A: Yes, for members age 50 and older. Here are the details:

· The shingles immunization (Herpes Zoster or Zostavax) is covered at 100% for members age 50 and older, with no cost share to you.

· If you are under the age of 65 and in the DoD NAF HBP, the best place to receive your shingles shot is at your doctor’s office or a contracted walk in clinic. Do not* get the immunization at the pharmacy, as they are not considered a contract-ed medical provider (*with the exception of those pharmacies that bill for the service through a contracted walk in clinic).

· Your DoD NAF HBP also covers the flu, pneumonia and hepatitis B immunizations at 100%, with no cost share to you. As with the shingles immunization, the same places to have these administered would apply.

· If you are over the age of 65, Medicare does NOT cover the shingles immunization, but it is still covered under your DoD NAF HBP.

· Medicare does cover the flu, pneumonia and hepatitis B immunization as part of their preventive services

· For more general information, here’s the link to the Center for Disease Control’s information on shingles vaccine: http://

AREA Scholarship Program

Since 1985 AREA has provided educational opportunities to “AAFES Kids” through its scholarship program. Next year AREA plans to again award $40,000 in scholarships to twelve AAFES siblings. Amounts are two $5,000 and ten $3,000 awards. The annual scholarship program has historically been financed from the previ-ous year’s individual and business contributions. In 2015, these amounts were $8,125 and $6,500 respectively, continuing an inadequate funding situation that has existed for several years. Shortfalls have been made up using reserve funds. In 2016, our reserve fund ($264,928) was used to contribute $25,375 to make the year’s program whole. Reserve funds are available annually for a maximum annual dollar amount up to 1/8th of the fund balance to make up for contribution shortfalls. Obviously, something has to give as the reserve funds will deteriorate rapidly at the current program and contri-bution levels. We need your help to maintain this meaningful program. On page 17 is the AREA Scholarship Fund donation form offering various options for your consideration. Please consider giving to this program so we can continue helping “AAFES Kids”. We’ll remind you of the importance and the need for continued sup-port in each quarterly’s Newsletter. All donations are income tax deductible. 2017 will mark the 33rd anniversary of the AREA scholarship program. Thru 2016, AREA has provided $715,795 in scholarship awards to 337 deserving students, many of whom may not have even started college without the AR-EA boost. This program is something AREA members can be really proud of. Few events in life are more meaning-ful than helping young people get an education.

Here’s a short synopsis on how the program works:

1. The program is limited to graduating high school seniors who have been accepted at accredited colleges. One of the parents must have been an AFFES employee on January 1st of the award year, had at least twelve consecutive months of Exchange employment, or in the case of military personnel, Exchange assignment. For a deceased parent, the twelve-month employment requirement must have been met at the time of death. 2. Applications must be sent to the scholarship committee during the designated enrollment period – usual-ly January 1st through March 31st of each year. Application forms are available on the AREA web site at: http://www.aafes.com/about-exchange/retired-employees-association/community-programs/scholarships.htm. All application criteria are outlined on the web site.

The AREA administers the program through an appointed AREA Scholarship Program Director. Committee members lay out the parameters of the program each year, which are ultimately approved by the AREA board of directors. Michelle Priester AREA Scholarship Program Director

Congratulations Dr. Ellis!

I commend you for the marvelous job you are doing with the AREA Quarterly Newsletter. Subjects are more in-teresting, and the beauty of seeing clear photographs of our members. I was President of Chapter One for a few years until we had to close out (due to the closing of the Capital Exchange Region in 1995) an the passing away of many of our original members, the difficulty of getting folks to party in the best centered location (Ft Myer, VA) Our members used to come from Dover, Delaware; Washington DC, Maryland, Northern Virginia, West Virginia, to party. I enjoyed handling Chapter One. I only had one member "Mozelle Buckler" who willingly helped the chapter with me. She just celebrated her birthday (age 90) this week, lives in Baltimore. My predeces-sor as Chapter President was a former AAFES SR, George Colter, you may have known him, He passed away two years after we drew the curtain. Sincerely, Mike Griffin

WILLS “From time to time retired associates of AAFES leave be-quests to the AREA in their will. If you desire to make such a bequest we recommend providing the person that pre-pares your formally written and executed will with the follow-ing sample clause. If you make such a bequest please notify AREA at the same address as in the clause." "I give (blank dollars/property) to the Army Air Force Ex-change Service Retired Employee's Association (AREA), P.O. Box 380614, Duncanville, Texas 75138."

Other Chapter reported deaths:

Dennis Jones passed away on July 12, 2016 at the age of 81. Born in Detroit Michigan on the Ides of March, Dennis exceled in academics. At the age of 17 he joined the Air Force and was quickly identified as a candidate for language school. He studied Russian, and during the Korean War was assigned to a post in Germany to listen to and translate Russian fighter pilot radio com-munications.

It was also here that he met Erika Krause his first wife. Together they returned to the US and Dennis completed four-year college at the University of Denver and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Busi-ness. After a short stint with IBM he hired on with the Army and Air Force Exchange Service which allowed him to travel the world and “serve those who serve”.

It was during his career at AAFES that he met the characters and individuals that would become his lifelong

friends. He was fiercely loyal to this group of friends and some of his fondest memories were the after hour esca-

pades, parties, and golf outings he had with his workmates.

Louis P. Naumann

Louis worked for the Army and Air Force Exchange Service for 30 years before his retirement. One of his greatest

thrills was the opportunity to work overseas. He enjoyed living in Germany for an extended period, traveling ex-

tensively throughout Europe and collected art and antiques. He transferred back to Texas in the 1970’s, and settled

in the Dallas area, where he lived for more than 35 years.

AAFES Retired Employees Association Help Us Save Money! Get the Newsletter online

rather than through the mail.

The difference in cost is significant*, and you’ll enjoy these advantages:

Get the Newsletter first, before anyone else. E-mail is faster than snail-mail.

The Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format is in color and you can transfer/save the file as you desire.

*Per copy print cost at $1.42 + mailing at $0.57 = $1.99 cost per copy. Do yourself and AREA a favor – try the Newsletter via e-mail attachment.

Here is what one member said: “The e-mail edition is superb. Easy to read, brilliant colors, etc. I can’t say enough about it, and would recommend that anyone with a computer should give it a try.

Send an e-mail to Pat Weaver, Membership Director, at ken-pat@sbcglobal.net and state that you would like to get the Newsletter on line and we’ll do the rest. Give it a try. If you don’t like it, we can always add you back to the snail-mail list.
