Welcome...
from your Silver Caduceus Association
We have been organized since December 1, 2003 when the Secretary of the State of Texas assisted us in selecting our name MSC Network, Inc. Later the name was changed to Silver Caduceus Association of MSC Officers and Warrant Officers, Inc. (SCA). We are incorporated and have federal and state tax exemption.
The purpose of the SCA is to promote the history and traditions of the Medical Service Corps, to enhance continuing education and to support social and recreational activities to its members. Enduring strength comes from core values of service, loyalty, honestly, and integrity. Camaraderie is one of the main ingredients of the SCA. It was an important ingredient in shaping the careers for all of us. Camaraderie was the prop frequently available to help us on our next venture.A Scholarship Program has been established and is chaired by Ernie Sylvester and Jim Hayes. Anyone related to and recommended by an SCA member may apply. The success of this program and the awarding of numerous scholarships has been outstanding due to the generous donations by SCA members.
It has been an MSC tradition for many years to have a reunion every two years. The 2010 reunion in Colorado Springs and the 2006 and 2008 reunions held in San Antonio were whopping successes. We were pleased to have many distinguished guest speakers. Additionally, a popular function was the golf tournament followed by a buffet, with a formal banquet to end the reunion. The SCA Reunion 2012 will be held September 26-30, 2012 in San Antonio, Texas.
Come join us !!! Membership is $25.00 the first year, and $15.00 yearly to renew. Lifetime memberships are temporarily suspended until such time as our regular membership grows as the SCA needs to protect its annual cash flow. To continue to grow and to be able to implement education and recreational activities, it is imperative that our membership grow. Each new member and each renewal is vitally important.
