The mission of the Sumner County Chapter is to benefit the members of the uniformed services, their families and survivors and to advocate for a strong national defense, while providing needed support to the community and its members.

The Chapter holds monthly dinner meetings on the fourth Thursday of the month. Each meeting has a special speaker that covers such areas as financial planning, healthcare, and local activities and events. Also the Chapter supports the JROTC units at Station Camp High School and Hendersonville High School. At our annual Christmas Party we collect gifts for the USMCR Toys for Tots program and food donations for the local food bank.

The MOAA Chapter supports the MOAA national legislative agenda and we annually invite our Congressional Representative and Senators to speak to the chapter. The chapter is also active in supporting the state council in various state veterans' issues.

Members are called prior to the monthly dinner meetings to determine their attendance. Also the Chapter publishes a monthly newsletter with information concerning the monthly meeting, future activities and recent events. The newsletter also contains legislative and benefit information.
