WAVES NATIONAL

TO: WAVES and Navy Servicewomen,

A group of WAVEs and Navy Servicewomen are organized as the BAY AREA WAVES of Northern California, meeting monthly in Cupertino. Our purpose, other then social, is to help the 60-plus women veterans patients at the VA Medical Hospital, Palo Alto, by gathering toiletries, stationery, etc. to deliver three times a year. We have made Christmas stockings and Easter baskets. It is a wonderful feeling to see the joy expressed toward us as we visit and talk to the patients.

In 1979 three veteran WAVES organized in Sacramento, California, WAVES National, "WN", nationwide. To date there are 30 plus Units chartered under WAVEs National from Maine to Florida and to the West Coast with seven very active Units in California, including Bay Area WAVES. The Administrative Secretary, has a membership cross-reference file of over 8,000 names. By joining WAVES Nation WAVES and Navy servicewomen may "Keep in touch" with whats going on in the United States with women in the Navy and in her area. Using WAVES Nationals locator service perhaps she can locate a lost shipmate.

We, the Bay Area WAVES, communicate with other Units and WAVES Chapters through our newsletters. We have organized national conventions bi-annually. We get together with other California Chapters. We have socials, take field trips, have interesting programs, partake in the Memorial day Service at the Oak Hills Cemetery. Our members come from Santa Clara County, San Mateo County and as far North as Daly City.

We invite all you WAVES and Navy servicewomen out there to affiliate with us. Come visit with us at a meeting.
