COMMANDERS MESSAGE

 

Although we reached a membership of 226 which was 100%+1, we did not reach our goal of 110%. I thank all of the membership for their efforts. There were five members transferred to "Post Everlasting" last year and several who did not renew their membership. On the other hand we did sign on several new members. This is a never ending assignment and we will have to keep trying. Welcome to new members Michael Agosta, Frank Baeli, Matthew Bauer, John E. Ganci, Dennis P. Grippo, Dwayne Pradt, Mitchell Radinsky, Jordan Seibel, Miguel A. Vargas and Luke Walsh, who joined us this past year. Join us at our annual "Post Picnic" and meet your comrades and their families.

National has created a new website, http://www.mylegion.org./ look at it, take the tour, sign on as a member and you can avail yourself of many services. This site is free and has links to our post website and many others. We do not participate in the area for paying your dues.

Commander
