The POM Chapter gathered on the morning of December 13, 2025, in celebration of their one-year anniversary as a chapter for its first holiday luncheon at a local restaurant in Midvale, UT.
President Bill Simpson Greets the Gathering
The chapter became “official” on January 18, 2025, when it was formally organized with a strong board of officers. In the 11 months that followed, the chapter held informative meetings with members of the community as well as several of its own compatriots.
The chapter has also grown from the 18 charter members in January to 35 members at the time of this celebratory luncheon.
Seven of our new members were inducted into the Society during our meeting. They included John Brand, Michael Berger, Chester Milburn, Peter Dill, Spencer Pilkington, Ira Terry and Jay Ashworth.
