Educate, Advocate & Support — Minneapolis/St. Paul - AF 213
Welcome to the General E. W. Rawlings Chapter AFA of the Twin Cities area, #213. This chapter, named in the honor of an outstanding AFA member and local community leader, is the largest of two chapters in Minnesota. Our membership is drawn from central to southern MN. Our members are both military and civilian; active duty and retired. They represent the aerospace industry, businesses, schools and the community at large.

Rawlings is a Chapter of the Air Force Association (AFA), which is an independent, nonprofit, organization. It promotes civilian education and understanding of the importance of aerospace power and its pivotal role in the security of our nation. AFA publishes Air Force Magazine, conducts national symposia and disseminates information through outreach programs. It sponsors professional development seminars. It recognizes excellence in the education and aerospace fields through national awards programs.

The Rawlings Chapter supports scholarships and grants to Air Force active duty, Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve members and their families. Rawlings supports Twin Cities ROTC and JROTC programs. It provides educator materials and sponsors performance awards to promote science and math education at regional elementary and secondary schools.

Members of the Rawlings Chapter of AFA serve on committees, run special events, mentor new volunteers and students for future Air Force, AFA and community leadership. Rawlings is active in community charitable giving. Funding for these activities is largely acquired through proceeds of local gaming concessions. Chapter members manage these concessions and address local community needs in fulfillment of the Rawlings mission statement.
