Retirement Benefits Package Provide each projected retiree with a package of: 1. EANGUS information 2. Current Benefits 3. Membership Applications This would need each states cooperation to put together and handout at the projected retirees briefs, (Quarterly, Semi- Annually)?

Retirees Events State enlisted associations provide information to EANGUS on special events within your states, i.e.: Retirees Appreciation Day, Retreats, Breakfast, Luncheons, BBQ’s, or just a group of retirees sitting around telling war stories. We will provide the Retirees Benefits Brochure and information on how to become a Lifetime Member.
