All Legionnaires are encouraged to attend the District meetings. All Post delegates to the 13th District are expected to attend the Winter Conference and Council meetings.

All Thirteenth District Posts will receive a visit from their Division Commanders as well as the District leadership team led by District Commander William Laskey or First Vice Commander Brinkhoff in the very near future.

The Division Commanders are required to complete a post inspection report so please cooperate with them. They will also require the names and addresses of the Post's delegates.

Are you looking for an exciting and inexpensive evening with a chance to win a few $$$?

Brecksville Post 196 hosts a Left Right Center Tournament every Friday from 7:15 p.m. to about 9:30 p.m. Where else can you have so much fun for only $3.00? There may even be complimentary food available. Post 196 is always a gracious host so why not drop in, say hello, and enjoy great fellowship.

On Wednesday, December 7th, 2011, the Greater Cleveland Veterans Council is hosting the annual Pearl Harbor Day observance and luncheon. There will be a wreath laying ceremony off the deck of the U.S.S. Cod at 11:55 a.m. followed by a luncheon at 12:30 p.m. at the Doubletree Hotel, 1111 Lakeside Avenue.

Call Tim Leahy at (216) 671-6223 or Mark Lynch at (216) 233-5013 for tickets. Honored guests will be some of the few Pearl Harbor veterans still with us and some hospitalized veterans from Wade Park VAMC.

The American Legion Christmas gift pass out at Wade Park VAMC is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, December 13th, 2011. Call me at the number below for any late changes.

Is your post sponsoring any spring events? (March, April, May.) Almost every Post sponsors an event for Memorial Day, so please let me know about it and I will do my best to include it in the next edition.

The next deadline for the Ohio Legion News is January 27th, 2012, so please call me at (330) 220-1027 or e-mail me at brink8162@roadrunner.com at least one week prior to the deadline.
