Membership – Linda Nenno
Thanks to all of you who have renewed your membership and brought in new members. We have reached 82% of our final goal. I’m sad to report we will not make our goal of 100% this year. We will receive our 2019 cards at State Convention in late June, so we’ll be starting Early Bird renewals in July, so don’t try to hide when you see me coming!
Care Packages-Marty Novak
In May we sent 36 Care Packages to our deployed service men and women. Thanks to all who came to help.
Thanks to our American Legion Family for the help and support they give us, to the members, non-members, groups, organizations, and business of our community for their monetary donations, memorials and donations of supplies.
It’s time to start sending neck coolers in our Care Packages. It’s quite hot over there in the desert. I have the pattern if anyone would like to help make them.
Our next Care Package day is June 13th. We start packing as soon as we finish setting out the supplies and everything is ready…about 10:15 and we are usually finished by about 11:00. Anyone is welcome to come help us pack. It’s lots of fun.
Cell Phones for Soldiers
We are no longer collecting cell phones. Homeland security will only allow me to send 3 cell phones at a time rather than sending them in the medium flat rate box. This is making it too costly to continue.
What is a Veteran: A Veteran…whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve…is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to, and including his/her life.” That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today, who no longer understand that act.
