About Us

A GROUP OF MILITARY RETIREES JOINED TOGETHER IN 1975 AND FORMED THE RETIRED MILITARY SERVICE CLUB. FROM THE INCEPTION OF THE CLUB, THE MEMBERS RESOLVED TO DEVELOP A PROGRAM TO AID IN THE CIVIC AND SOCIAL NEEDS OF IT'S MEMBERS AND THE COMMUNITY. THE ORGANIZATION WAS CHARTERED BY THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA ON THE  26TH DAY OF APRIL 1978 AT WHICH TIME THE OFFICIAL NAME WAS CHANGED TO THE ARMED FORCES RETIREES CLUB, INC. OF GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLNA. FEDERAL EXEMPT STATUS OBTAINED SEPTEMBER 1,1983. SINCE THAT TIME, WE HAVE MADE MANY CHANGES BUT ALWAYS STAYING WITHIN OUR MAIN OBJECTIVES OF ASSISTING THE DISABLED AND NEEDY WAR VETERANS, ESTABLISHING PROGRAMS TO VIVIDLY KEEP THE MEMORY OF OUR DECEASED MEMBERS ALIVE AND PROVIDE ASSISTANCE AND BENEFITS  WHEN POSSIBLE TO SURVIVING MEMBERS, TO SUPPORT  PROGRAMS THAT ARE PATRIOTIC,RELIGIOUS,CHARITABLE AND EDUCATIONAL IN NATURE AS WELL AS SOCIAL AND RECREATIONAL.
