• In May of 2023 Chapter 966 was contacted by LCDR Winn, Senior Naval Science Instructor, of Union Pines High School's NJROTC Program about one of his most exceptional cadet Quinn Istre who had planned to enlist in the US Air Force to serve his Country.   Cadet Istre's dreams were shattered when he was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.  LCDR Winn asked if the Chapter could assist this cadet in any way.  With a unanimous vote chapter 966 provided the cadet with $1000.00 to help him continue with his education.  LCDR Winn's letter and a Mr. Lstre's letter of appreciation are available to read by selecting this link.
