Corporate members of AUSA's Fort Lewis Chapter joined together on March 18th at the Hawks Prairie Restaurant, to form a sub chapter designed to support the 3rd Stryker Brigade.  Officials at Joint Base Lewis McChord assigned the Brigade to the City of Lacey to support community activities, and in return, the community will support them.  The newly formed sub chapter is currently in the process of identifying ways to support the Brigade's activities.  The sub committee is comprised of corporate members, which includes representatives from:   Harborstone Credit Union, Heritage Bank, American Lake Credit Union, The Ranger newspaper, Saint Martin's University,  the Lacey Chamber of Commerce, the City of Lacey, and Skookum.  Pictured is Denise Burditus, the new Lacey sub chapter president and bank manager for Heritage Bank as she signs the group's new by-laws, last week.  Also pictured (left to right):  Front Row:  Carlene Joseph, AUSA Fort Lewis Chapter president & Harborstone Credit Union VP).
