1ST Commander report
The 2023-2024 membership year will begin August. As soon as I receive the new cards from National, I will begin collecting dues. Annual members will receive a dues notice through the mail. If you have any questions call me. New members signing up before the start of the new year will be paid up for the 2023-2024 year. We are always in need of good new members.
3RD Vice Commander Report
The Post election of Officers will take place at the regular meeting Monday June 5th at 7pm.
Fortunately, we will have some new names on the Officers’ Roster. Thanks to Chris Heather for running for the vacant 2 year Trustee. We are sure he will be a great addition. Sonny Bauer will be the new 3rd Vice in charge of activities. Thanks to the members of all the organizations who have helped me, and I hope you will continue to support Sonny. The Post picnic is the next Post activity: June 24th see the attached flyer for details. All are invited to bring a worn flag and participate in the flag retirement ceremony. Hope to see you there.

We have been informed that if you have old cell phones you no longer need, that you can drop them off at Liberty Tax on Colerain Ave. (if you do this, please get a receipt and turn it in to an Auxiliary member, so that our Post can get credit for it). Also, along the lines of donating, if you have any old or used furniture, we have been given a phone number for New Life Furniture Bank that is 513-313-0530.
Please continue to keep our troops and our members in your prayers.
