CHAPTER HISTORY

The chapter was originally chartered by the National President of the Air Force Association on  August 4, 1955.  The Chapter was named in 1997 honor of Claude Farinha , a distinguished Air Force Civil Servant, for his outstanding contributions that were vital to successes of the Sacrament Air Logistics Center which at one time employed over 25,000 people.
