RAFINO History

RAFINO is a fraternal/social veterans'
webmaster@rafino.org organization put together and run entirely
for the enjoyment of soldiers who spent at
Robby Robson least a large part of their Army life as
rrrobson@gmail.com Financial Management soldiers. Every
Finance soldier eligible for retirement is
https://www.rafino.org eligible for membership in RAFINO. The
organization offers a fun way to stay in
contact with your friends and renew
Keeping the Finance Family Together friendships with those whom you may have
lost contact with over the years.
The original By-Laws were unanimously
approved by the officers of RAFINO on the
31 of August 1987. The vote was based on
mail replies of charter members the great
majority of whom approved such formation
of this society and the necessary steps to
make it a non-profit veterans’ organization.

The purposes above may be summarized
in one word: fellowship. The two societies
come together every two years for a
festive Reunion. Cities where the
Reunions have been held in the past
include Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, Ft.
Jackson, Orlando, Williamsburg, Branson,
Tacoma, San Antonio, Baton Rouge,
Albuquerque, and in 2022, Indianapolis.
These venues offer a great opportunity to
not only visit great spots in the U.S. but, as
mentioned above, visit with old friends and
meet some new ones.

On October 15, 2016, the previous sister
organization, RAFINCO, merged its
membership and assets into RAFINO,
making the RAFINO the single place for all
ranks of retired Army finance soldiers.
