MOAACC Events



  • On-The-Go Luncheons

    The Chapter's On-The-Go contact:   Toni Lowe, Spouse Member

    “On the Go” is a social group of MOAACC members getting together at an area restaurant on the second Tuesday of every month.  There is no agenda and no program.  The chairman receives recommendations from other members and visits various restaurants to insure they are suitable.  Once a restaurant has been decided upon, the chairman makes contact with the person in charge of reservations.  The date, time, choice of menu items or fixed menu, price, handicap availability, and the size of accommodations are discussed.  Once the decision is made, the webmaster and The Intercom editors are to be notified of all information for each month.  A list of members attending is kept with their phone numbers and e-mail addresses.  Each month members call the chairperson or sign up at TMBC.   The number of members attending is called into the restaurant of the month, 3 days in advance.  The chairman arrives early to insure seating arrangements are correct.

      Check the "Calendar of Events" webpage for this months "On the Go" restaurant and date.

  • The Thursday Morning Breakfast Club

    The Chapter's Thursday Morning Breakfast Club contact:  MOAACC Chapter President

    TMBC is held every Thursday at the Indian River Colony Club at the At Ease Club, in the 19th Hole Lounge. The meeting starts promptly at 0800 and ends just as promptly at 0900.  Enter through the main gate at IRCC at the intersection of Murrell Road and Freedom Drive in Viera and ask for directions at the gate.


    The Breakfast Club is an informal gathering to keep informed on happenings in Congress, at the VA Clinic, the Patrick SFB Exchange & Commissary, sister veteran's organizations and more. The meeting is filled with humor and stories of members experiences in war and life. Welcome new members! Come add your two cents. Despite the name there is no breakfast, but coffee is available.


    There is a voluntary contribution of $1.00 or more to cover incidental expenses. Our First Vice President has the distinctive duty of reminding the members to "Put your DOLLAR on the table" and don't forget your MOAACC Coin, could save you a $1.
