About the Cover: What is ? Moving forward into 2020 offers us
opportunities for some “Changes” to our monthly Newsletter Publication. The process
or thing that we use within NWCA to Connect to each other and form a “Connection” is
very important. What is a ? How does this new, modern name, for our monthly
NWCA Publication apply to us? A “Link” can be defined as many things such as: a
“Connection” or a “Communication” or better yet – “a Link is something that enables
communication between people or organizations.” Our “NWCA Connection” has served
us all throughout the last 20 years or so with wonderful information, stories and photos.
We respect this Great Publication and those that have worked to bring its content to
NWCA. We now hope to build on this “Tradition” and “Legacy” with a new publication,
using a new format, titled: The NWCA LINK.

This is the month of love, or so
the calendar tells me.
I love being a member of NWCA dba Military Families Worldwide. Being with you serving our communities
brings me joy. Knowing you are out there making someone’s day a little brighter with cookies, blankets, money
and your time too is heartwarming. Watching each of you grow into your best selves
and helping others do the same is something else that makes me love
NWCA dba Military Families Worldwide. You are easy to love. NWCA is easy to love.
Sometimes life is not so easy to love yet you step in and help people make it through those moments too.
Deployments are hard. PCS moves are tough. Grief, retirement, regret, illness, death, financial worries are all
hard. Going back to school or to a new one can be terrifying. Watching your service member leave is akin to hell
– the emotional cycle of deployment is real. You have skin in the game and that can be frightening. Whatever
challenge you are in currently, or may face soon, is hard. The good news is you do not have to go through a
millisecond of it alone. We are here for each other – for you. Reach out in those tough moments. Please. Don’t
suffer in silence.
Perhaps you need a respite. That idea is, in part, what this year’s national welfare project is about. We are once
again supporting Darkhorse Lodge, a retreat for combat veterans, which is in development. It is located practically
in my backyard here in Springville, Tennessee. Come on over for a visit and let me get you a tour. Gretchen
Catherwood, CEO of Darkhorse Lodge, would love to show off this beautiful retreat in progress and tell you all
about why she and her husband Kirk stepped up to make this happen. For those coming in October, plan on
hearing Gretchen’s tale and Darkhorse Lodge’s progress then.
The scholarship application season is still in full swing. The deadline for ALL scholarships offered by NWCA
and the Scholarship Foundation of NWCA is MARCH 31, 2020. I know there have been some website glitches,
and hopefully by now, those have been worked out.

NWCA National President,
Melissa Worthey.
When in doubt – ask. National Vice President Allison Barnes, Scholarship Director Lois Wilber, Scholarship
Secretary-Treasurer Nancy New or I will get you the information you need – just ask.The National Convention
Chairman Sherry Hutchison and I will have a letter out to you about convention very soon. We just weren’t ready
in time for this publication. She has all kinds of brilliant ideas (probably scathingly brilliant – her favorite kind)
and much to share. It is exciting to try something new and there are plenty of new things coming in October.Last,
but not least, I love our new national publication and hope you do too.

Let’s show some Love this month!
How about sending a Valentine card to club members who don’t
get to come to meetings often or haven’t paid their dues yet. Drop a
card to our senior members; maybe to clubs with only 1 or 2 members.
Or, you could say hi to our MAL or chairmen. Seriously, let’s communicate with each
other. Don’t wait until Regional or National conventions to catch up. We have some many ways to
communicate these days; take a little time and reach out. And thank you for all the love you show through
NWCA! Share the tradition, live the legacy. Allison.

Depending on the size of your club you may have both a Corresponding Secretary and a Recording Secretary,
or you may only have a Recording Secretary who does both jobs. So, let’s make taking the
minutes as easy as possible. Ask your president for a copy of her agenda. They will have
most of the items to be covered at the meeting already written out so you can fill in the blanks. Of course, there
will be some information you will have to add. Recommendations should be written exactly as they were
presented. If the recommendation is long and you’re having a problem getting it down, ask for it in writing. Same
with names, your members names are important, be sure to spell them correctly. Most discussion is not included
in the minutes, unless it is something that may be of importance, later, or to clarify an issue for members who are
reading the minutes who may not have been at the meeting. Mention of reports should be made. The report can
be included as an addendum. If your club has a Corresponding Secretary, it is their responsibility to take care of
receiving and sending out mail for your club. Once again, correspondence sent should be well written as it
represents your club.
Happy Valentine’s Day to all. Treat your sister members with love and respect as you want to be treated.
Share the tradition, live the legacy,

With February, we are already started into the new year of 2020
with only 335 days left in this year. It is a time for reflection and a
time for optimism for what can be accomplished during the last 335
days. Before we know, we will be celebrating another new year.

NWCA National Treasurer,
Eleanor Hamby.
Let your Merchandise Chairmen know if there are any other items that you would like to see carried in
merchandise. Roberta Anlage, Merchandise Chairman, has some great ideas for new merchandise but would like
to have your input. It does take time to work up the items for sale, so if there is something you are interested in,
please let us know. Several new items were added last year so be sure to bring some money to Regional
Conventions to purchase some. Linda Christy, Pin Chairman, has been working to get the Pin Price List updated
and is with this LINK. We have, also, been working on a proposal for a
50-year pin, which will be presented to members who have been
an NWCA member for at least 50 years, collectively. It is not too early
to start thinking about Regional Conventions. The Eastern Region Chairmen have already sent out their first
letter with dates, April 24-25, 2020, and initial information. I am sure that the other regions, Central, Northwest
and Southwest, will be sending information on their Conventions soon.

Don’t be frightened if you have seen a wild-eyed Archivist
snooping around your Facebook pages. It is just me, your National
Archivist seeking NWCA dba Military Families Worldwide
photos – do you have some for me? What has your
club been up to lately? Write me a note, drop me
a text or send an email telling me all about your latest and greatest events and scathingly brilliant ideas. Better
yet, send me the photos that correlate to these events and ideas! I cannot wait to see what you have to share.

Hey there lovely members! I hope this letter finds everyone happy
and healthy in this new year. Membership is busy trying to plan some
exciting things with the direction of our board. I have attended a few
events and a few meetings in my local area. I have witnessed local
clubs working in the community and spreading the word about
“Military Families Worldwide”. It is good stuff. By the time you read
this, hopefully I will have personally visited a few local schools and
shared our scholarship information. I am looking forward to
membership month.

NWCA Archivist Chairman,
Sherry Hutchison.
NWCA Membership Chairman,
Misty Sanders.
I would like you to reach out to your community and plan a
Membership drive or a social that includes spouses from
all the branches. It would be so exciting to see how many new members each region can bring in
by regional convention. If you have ideas, please share them with me in an email and I will send it to the media
chair and see if we can share with everyone. It will take a whole club to keep members and build a
membership. Remember to be kind to those around you and reach out to the membership you already
have. Sometimes we focus on all the changes, we think we need, and we forget about the blessings right in front
of us. I will leave you with two thoughts until next month. Be kind to each other. Friendship is so weird...you
just pick a human you’ve met and your like “yep, I like this one!” and you just do stuff with them.
Friendship is not about who you’ve known the longest It’s about who walked into your life, said, “I’m here for
you” and proved it.

Hello to all! We are in the month for Love and Lovers!!! One of the
things that we all love is our Navy Wives Club of America Doing Business
as Military Families Worldwide. Let’s try to encourage all our friends and
neighbors to join us and find out how great it is and what we love about
it!!! The Pin Order form is ready and the
correct prices have been adjusted. The pin
Order form is ready. The correct prices have been adjusted. The Order

Regional meetings will be upon us sooner that you think! Please
start thinking about anything you would like to be added to the call.
Have you sent in your volunteer hours to your respective Regional
Presidents? We are almost at the end of our
second quarter and I would like to see
the MAL’s doing as well as our
regular members where at all
possible. We’ve had a lot of ‘Likes’ and comments on our
Members at Large Facebook page over the past few weeks, I would love to have photos of some of our members
to post there. For those who are sick or have loved ones that are ill, we continue to keep our sister MAL’s in our
thoughts and prayers.

SPAM beware. Have you ever received an email and/or friend
request from someone you know but don’t? Yes, that can get
confusing. While Social Media, is
FANTASTIC, it comes with some
hazards. When you are online, make sure your web browser
is secure and you can do that by typing: “https” before you type the

email that comes from a familiar name, but the subject is strange or odd,
check the email address for verification and then drop that person a text
or call them, just to be on the safe side. Remember, always be careful

Friendships. Friendships throughout NWCA are vital to our
Organization. Just as important is how we trust others and how
they trust us. This important relationship often helps us build
long lasting Friendships. It’s also important that we
recognize the friendships that we have with others as an
Organization. Here is a Friendship poem to help us celebrate Valentine’s Day, 2020:

THE NWCA NATIONAL CONVENTION, 2020
PARIS, TENNESSEE
FIRST LETTER AND INFORMATION, JANUARY 2020
**************************************************************
We are working hard to prepare for NWCA to “Share the love.” To help you plan better for National Convention,
we have a few key details to pass along in this first letter. When are we expecting ya’ll? Well, frankly, come
any time you want to visit us and our little town, we (and they) would love that! However, convention is
scheduled to officially open on Tuesday, October 27, 2020 with Memorial Service and close with the award
banquet on Saturday, October 31, 2020.
You may check-in as early as Monday, October 26th and check-out as late as Monday, November 2nd.
Where are we staying? We will plan and carry out our shenanigans, yeah, I mean sleep at the Quality Inn in
Paris. You can and will make your room reservations directly with the Quality Inn staff via telephone at (731)
642-2838. The Quality Inn is located at: 1510 E. Wood Street, Paris, TN 38242. They are giving us a GREAT
rate; no more than $95/night (e.g. $81 plus taxes and/or fees). At this reduced rate, you may book into a Double
Queen Bedroom, a King room, or a King Study. Maximum occupancy is 3 or 4 persons depending on your room
selection (staff can tell you which you are choosing when you call). This rate is for the room per day no matter
how many folks you share it with (up to maximum occupancy).
The Quality Inn offers you a HOT breakfast every morning of your stay (in main lobby). They also include free
coffee and juice in the main lobby 24 hours a day for guests. Other amenities include Wi-Fi in your rooms, a
single serve coffee pot (it takes special coffee inserts which they will provide you), iron, ironing board, dorm/bar
sized refrigerator and microwave.
We have secured 50 rooms (half of the hotel) which they will hold until September 10th. Once those 50 rooms
have been reserved and/or after the release date of 9/10/18 we cannot guarantee there will be a room available for
you; SO, RESERVE your ROOM EARLY.
This is a two-story hotel with exterior door entry to your rooms and NO ELEVATOR.
Meal menus are still under negotiations; therefore, it will be another month or more before we can offer you a
registration form and full package fee details. When you register, NOTIFY US of any meal related allergies. We
cannot guarantee specific menus based upon preference but will make every effort to accommodate all medical
related menu requests (e.g. vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, other known food related allergies
such as poultry, beef, wheat, berries). We are as bummed about that as you are members. We can tell that your
package fees owed to us will not exceed $100.00 per person. Please note that we are NOT charging or collecting
a registration fee.
Transportation – we are located between Memphis and Nashville; those are your airport choices for flying in
for convention. Both airports are approximately 2 to 2 ½ hours away from Paris. We suggest you get together and
share rental cars/vans or arrange with other members for a ride to convention site if you are flying. WE will NOT
be able to offer airport runs.

the parking lot from our hotel rooms at the Quality Inn. The schedule for this convention will be a bit different.
For those attending the pre-convention board meeting that will occur on Tuesday, starting at 8:30am in the Skyvue
Room (by hotel’s main lobby). Memorial Service and Opening Banquet will also be on Tuesday, October 27th
with Memorial starting no earlier than 5:30pm. More on schedule later.
We are excited to have ya’ll coming to Paris. We cannot wait to have fun with each of you. We want this
convention to be a relaxed and productive time; therefore, we have selected themes for each meal and have all
necessary decorations. That is all you get on that for now; more details later (snicker, snicker, snort).
What can you do for us? First, come to play! Second, bring your smiles and helping hands. If your club would
like to emcee the honoring meal for the national officers or national chairmen, please call or email us. You are
only on the hook for entertainment and the programs.
