MOAA State Chapters:

There are about 400 MOAA state chapters in the U.S. with about sixteen chapters located in Pennsylvania.  The Lancaster Chapter is a large Pennsylvania chapter with over 160 members.  Joining the Lancaster Chapter does not give you dual membership to the national organization or vice-versa.  Each is a separate organization and has their own dues structure.  You do not have to be a member of National MOAA in order to be a Lancaster Chapter member, however, membership in National MOAA is encouraged by all Lancaster members.
