📅 2024 in Review: A Year of Growth and Advocacy for CAL EANGUS!

As we close out 2024, we’re reflecting on an incredible year for CAL EANGUS. Together, we’ve made strides in supporting our enlisted members, their families, and our military community. Here’s what we accomplished this year:

✅ Successful State Conference: We brought together members and leaders to strengthen our mission, share ideas, and shape the future of CAL EANGUS.
✅ Legislative Advocacy: Proudly represented California’s enlisted members at Capitol Hill, advocating for improved benefits and resources.
✅ Community Engagement: Highlighted CAL EANGUS members and their contributions through social media and events across the state.
✅ Partnerships: Built strong alliances with organizations dedicated to the well-being of our service members.
✅ Membership Growth: Welcomed new members to our CAL EANGUS family, ensuring our voice remains strong and united.

💪 None of this would have been possible without YOU—our dedicated members, partners, and supporters.

🌟 As we look ahead to 2025, we’re excited to continue building on this momentum. Together, we’ll make an even greater impact.

As we come to the close of another remarkable year

As we come to the close of another remarkable year, I want to take this opportunity to thank each of you for your dedication and support of CAL EANGUS. Together, we have accomplished incredible milestones in 2024, and it’s your unwavering commitment that makes our success possible.

This year, we stood strong in advocacy, including our support of AB 46 and sponsorship of AB 53, both of which aim to enhance the lives of our service members and their families. These legislative efforts reflect our mission to ensure California’s National Guard and veteran communities receive the recognition and support they deserve.

We are also thrilled to celebrate a year of growth and impact:

Membership Growth: We welcomed over 400 new members to the CAL EANGUS family, strengthening our collective voice and reach.

Scholarship Awards: This year, we awarded $23,000 in scholarships to CAL EANGUS members and their dependents, investing in the futures of those who serve and their loved ones.

Community Support: CAL EANGUS provided over $80,000 in support to CAL GUARD units and CMD Family Programs, ensuring that our service members and their families receive essential resources and care.

National Leadership: We proudly celebrate the election of two CAL GUARD members to the EANGUS National Office, further amplifying California’s influence and representation on the national stage.

These accomplishments are a testament to the strength of our community and the shared commitment to our mission. As we reflect on these achievements, let us also look ahead to the opportunities and challenges of 2025. Together, we will continue to advocate, support, and make a difference for those who serve.

From my family to yours, I wish you a joyful holiday season filled with peace, happiness, and cherished memories. Thank you for being an integral part of the CAL EANGUS family and for your steadfast dedication to our mission.

Warm regards,

Josh J. Baker
President, CAL EANGUS

🎉 Holiday Cheer with the 640th ASB! 🎄

This weekend, CAL EANGUS had the honor of supporting the 640th Aviation Support Battalion’s holiday event, helping make it a memorable celebration for the soldiers and their families.

CAL EANGUS proudly sponsored the majority of the food bill, ensuring that attendees could enjoy the festivities without worrying about costs. The event featured a fantastic live band, delicious food, and—most importantly—a chance for soldiers to decompress and connect with their loved ones in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

At CAL EANGUS, we remain committed to supporting our National Guard community and fostering opportunities to strengthen the bonds between service members and their families.

Thank you, 640th ASB, for allowing us to be part of this special event. 💙💛

Ever wonder what CAL-EANGUS board members make?? N

Ever wonder what CAL-EANGUS board members make?? Nothing. Zip. Zero.

What keeps us going is knowing how much of a difference we are making in thousands of lives.

We know that the money is not ours to keep but to find ways to give it back to those who need it the most.
Most of our funds come from State Sponsored Life Insurance (SSLI) and between our board making decisions on how much and where it goes and our amazing treasurer (also a volunteer) keeping our funds managed perfectly, we are able to continue to give it back to the military guard members and their families in many different ways.

Without our volunteer board members we can’t make this happen. We need more volunteers though. Do you like to plan a social gathering? Do you like to fly or drive to a military party or deployment to tell more people about us? Would you like to have a vote on how the board manages the money and are a current annual member? We have lots of ways anyone can be part of the team. It will give you a sense of feeling like you made a much bigger difference than what you might be able to do within your job. Please comment below or send us a message letting us know how you’d like to be involved. We will guide you every step of the way. Please #volunteer today!
