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 5^th 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 3^rd 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 24^th 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.
