AFA CH294 COMMUNITY PARTNERS:
All local AFA operations are conducted by individual volunteers and local Community Partners. AFA Chapter 294 Community Partners have contributed thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of labor in support of the Edwards Air Force Base Community to include scholarships, aerospace education opportunities and co-sponsoring base events. This support has allowed junior service members and the public to afford to attend award ceremonies, morale building events and Air Force Awareness/Education Events. Chapter 294 Community partners are too numerous to name in this small space so we ask that you check out their names in the Community Partners linked document and patronize their businesses when appropriate. If you are interested in becoming an Antelope Valley AFA Chapter 294 Community Partner, please contact our Community Partner Liaison, Mr. Rex Moen, at rexmoen@yahoo.com, or through the "contact us" page in this website.Welcome Veterans and individuals interested in the history and future of the United States Air Force.
