The Coronado Thunderbirds is a social club for people retired from Federal Agencies and their Contractors — including Sandia National Labs, Los Alamos National Labs, DOE, NNSA, FAA, and the Military.
Our Club monthly activities include our Member Monthly Meeting on the second Tuesday of the month (except December). Our monthly member meetings are currently held in-person at the American Legion Post 49 on Central and Elizabeth. You have an option to purchase a $10 lunch. We start with social time and lunch, followed by a Business Meeting and a program.
After our Business Meetings, get ready for a great presentation. Our programs are chosen based on members’ interests in order to inform or entertain. Sometimes, the programs accomplish both!
- the emergence of telemedicine
- improving the environment of Albuquerque
- artificial intelligence
- beekeeping
- the impact of Spain on the Revolutionary War
- singing and choral groups
- square dancing
- ballooning in New Mexico
- the history of Albuquerque
- railroading in New Mexico, including AT&SF 2926
- Col. Eric Felt, AFRL and US Space Force
- the movie, “Hugo,” automaton restoration
- Old Town Ghost Stories
As Coronado Thunderbirds members, we are extremely privileged to access Kirtland Air Force Base. We are permitted to use all military Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) facilities and participate in social activities. Meals are available from a few facilities.
We distribute a monthly newsletter and occasional updates to keep our members informed of our programs, activities, and KAFB information. The newsletter is sent via email and “snail mail,” and we also maintain contact with a Calling Committee.
