RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFNS) --  Air Force Services Agency officials, recently changed club policies to extend member benefits to all U.S. armed forces members with a valid dues-paying club membership card.

This is good news for the Goodfellow community since it is a multi-service base, according to Ginger Moore, 17th Force Support Squadron Community Service Flight chief. "Our club membership should apply to all potential members. The Air Force is proactive in realizing this need for reciprocity in membership to our club," she said.

The changes allow personnel from other branches who pay club dues to receive the same pricing and discounts that Air Force club members receive.

"In the spirit of 'one team, one fight,' current Air Force guidance was revised to extend club privileges and benefits to all dues-paying club members regardless of branch of service," said Col. Sandra Adams, the commander of Air Force Services Agency.

Now is a great time for you to join, too, Mrs. Moore said, because those who sign up for new membership by May 31 will receive three months of free dues.

Full access to Air Force club facilities and services is also available for non-members and club members not paying dues. However, these individuals will be charged non-member prices.

Army and Navy services officials also agreed to provide reciprocal privileges commensurate with the member's rank to all U.S. armed forces presenting a valid dues-paying club membership card.

Furthermore, non-members, Department of Defense civilians, and their family members may also use Army and Navy club facilities, but non-member pricing applies in these situations.

For information about joining, club benefits and upcoming events contact Chris Stansbury at 325-654-3252 or Kathy Muldrew at 325-654-5249. For more information on reciprocal privileges, contact the Air Force membership office at 800-433-4834.
