Comrades,

There have been quite a few activities so far this VFW year. We have also received our new Post Polo style shirts. They are available in a variety of colors and sizes for only $25.00. Get yours TODAY!

First nominations for Post Officers were held during our regularly scheduled March 10th meeting. The positions available are: Commander, Senior Vice Commander, Junior Vice Commander, Quartermaster, Chaplain, Surgeon and Judge Advocate. As per the VFW National By-Laws the actual election of Officers will take place during our April meeting. All newly elected Officers positions will be effective Monday June 21 at approximately 1400. Again, according to our National By-Laws, that is when the New State Commander is installed.

The 53rd Annual Mass Installation this year will be at the Lakeside Post 5867. Luncheon at 11:30am with the installation beginning at 12:30pm. The price of the luncheon is $7.00 and features Salisbury Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Veggie and Salad. Please contact Sheri or myself before April 26 for reservations. RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED.

Make sure that you come down at 5pm on the 21st for Mike & Sylvia's incredible home made Enchilada's. All the profits support the VMA and it is truly a delicious meal.

Also, I would like to thank in advance Harry & Diane and crew for stepping in to give us a night off. They have volunteered to do the Monday night burgers on the 26th. Come down and cheer them on!

Yours in Comradeship,
Doug Carrington

Comrades,

As of this writing the Post membership is at 92.68%. We are 39 members short. This means that 39 people that did not pay their dues and are NO LONGER MEMBERS! We are real close to becoming 100%; with your help we can do it!

Comrade's second nominations and elections for Post Officers will take place during this month's meeting, please plan on attending the meeting.
