Welcome to the home page of the Aloha Chapter, an affiliate of the Military Officers' Association of America (MOAA)! We are pleased that you want to learn more about who we are and what we do.
According to the PREAMBLE of our Bylaws, "As Hawaii is the most unique State of all these United States of America because of its ethnic and cultural diversity, this organization of men and women who serve or have served in the nation's uniformed services, National Guard, and reserve components, as well as their spouses or their widows and widowers, must be reflective of that diversity. The understanding and appreciation of that diversity underlie the essence of it name "Aloha" and the rainbow in its logo represents the many ethnicities, cultures, and service components of its members."
If you are an active duty or retired officer of any branch of the military, you are welcome to join in our fellowship at our monthly luncheon meeting. Your spouse may accompany you. Sometimes we have dinner meetings. Guests/prospective members are always welcome. If you are interested in joining our friendly group after checking us out, please click on the "How to Reach Us" page for another link on that page to download a Membership Application form.

The Aloha Chapter Scholarship Fund Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) is happy to announce our concept for its scholarship program for Academic Year 2009-2010.
We believe our program has been most successful over the past several years. Accordingly, we will continue to provide scholarship grants ranging from $500 to $1000. However, depending upon the number of highly qualified applicants, we may either increase the number of scholarship awards or increase the value of each scholarship grant. As has been our practice, we will accept applications only from students enrolled in fields of study that will lead to a career in teaching, nursing, or a military career through the Senior Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC).
At the time of application and to be eligible for scholarship grant under this program for Academic Year 2009-2010, each applicant must be, 1) a full time student enrolled in a college or university in HawaII as a Sophomore, Junior or Senior year student, and 2) the student must apply through his or her counselor or appropriate officials in the career fields listed above.
The participating colleges and universities will identify, nominate and recommend student (s) for scholarship award to the Aloha Chapter Scholarship Fund Military Officers Association of American which will make the final selection of the scholarship recipients. This concept for the scholarship program for Academic Year 2009-2010 will continue our chapter's goal: "Support of Our Youths" in "Building of Hawaii Through Education" - our future leaders of Hawaii.
Questions regarding this program may be directed to Mr. Howard S. Okada, Vice Chairman, Aloha Chapter Scholarship Fund Military Officers Association of America by e-mail: okadahs@hawaii.rr.com or by telephone at 265-1898 or to Lieutenant Colonel Harold H.
