First Vice Commander's Column
As we open this column congratulations to District Seven. You are the only District ahead of last year. Thank you to 1st Vice Commander William Jordan. Growth is all we are trying to attain this year, keep up the good work. The membership started so well but now we seem to have hit a major lull. I trust that we are going to use the turn-in dates to remedy this problem. The next big turn in will be the BROWN JUG turn in November 15th, membership cards must be in by noon. As lap prizes go the 2nd District is the only district in line for this award. Keep going; I know you can do it. Thank you 1st Vice Commander Mike Homan. You are the guy. Third District 1st Vice Commander Richard Staley is having a membership seminar at Post 707 Englewood which is only fitting since they are all-time high four years running. Hang on Post 553, your all-time record is still intact at 42 years. Good job Post Commander Dave Paquette. Post commanders invite your district officers to your post for membership help. If I can be any service, call me, the only thing I want is for us to grow. Posts that are Quota by Department convention will be entered into a drawing at the 2012 convention in Columbus. The post drawn will receive $1,000.00. Post must be present and registered for the convention to win. The post drawn will receive $500.00 if they are not present and registered for the convention. Any all-time high Post Commanders by June 21st, 2012, will receive an American Legion Jacket as a THANK YOU. Any District Commander that is quota by same date will also receive an American Legion jacket. I am looking forward to visiting 4th District on October 2nd for their fall conference. Roll out the red carpet.... Stanley Pleasant's homecoming at Wright-Patterson A.F.B. was a well attended and really enjoyable. There were just too many Air Force people there. (funny that....). Thank you to L.S. Pauley, Commander of the 8th District, for a great meeting. Cindy and I were well received. We will be at Post 103 February 4th. With so much traveling I am really enjoying it, this is all I thought it would be and more. The Pride In Us Is The Pride Of The American Legion. See you soon... Steve Masowick, 1st Vice Commander |
