EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- Edwards AFB will hold its 2015 Military Retiree Appreciation Day May 16.

The event will be held at the Oasis Community Center in Bldg. 2500 at 205 West Popson Ave., Edwards, California, 93524.

The event will be from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. All military retirees and their spouses are invited to attend.

After the opening ceremony, attendees will have the opportunity to visit a variety of informational booths and attend breakout sessions to obtain information and some services of value to retirees.

"Pharmacy and immunizations as well as the legal office will be there to serve the retirees. TRICARE and USAA will be briefing after the opening ceremony," said Capt. Shanna Vaughan, 412th Medical Support Squadron and 2015 RAD volunteer. "We are working to make this a fun and beneficial event to appreciate those who served before us."

Staff from the Edwards Retirees Activities Office will also be on hand for services and information updates.

Invitations will be mailed out to local retirees. Those who receive the invites will need to R.S.V.P. as soon as possible in order to ensure the accommodation of lunch, raffle ticket and giveaways, according to Vaughan.

Refreshments, gift bags and door prizes will also be provided to make Retiree Appreciation Day 2015 both fun and informational.
