On the other hand, retirees are strongly encouraged to volunteer their services. Many FSCs have Family Services collocated with them, and in many cases, Family Services would cease to exist if it weren't for the many retirees who help there. More volunteers are always welcome. While you're looking for a place to volunteer, don't forget the Retiree Activities Office, some of which are located in the same facility as the Family Support Center. Planning Conference is scheduled for Mar. 10-14, 1997.
Delegates also vote on and report the five top services.
At the 1995 AFAP, retiree benefits were among the top five services and health care for retirees over 65 was one of the top five issues. To find out how to get involved with AFAP, contact the AFAP coordinator at your installation. The Air Force Family Support Center takes the lead in assisting people with their needs as they transition into the private sector. Originally, the purpose of the congressionally mandated Transition Assistance Program was to help military men and women make the change to the civilian world. However, many programs and services offered through the family support center have been extended to civilian employees affected by an ongoing civilian drawdown.
