Jr. Vice Commander’s Call

The May / June fund drives are set for May 15th and May 16th for the majority of stores. The Jewel on 159th and 94th Ave is scheduled for June 5th and 6th.

 

Please check the attached store signup sheets for those stores that need additional manning. 

 

The buckets, poppies, and aprons will be available Friday May 15th. If you would like to get everything before Friday, call me so we can set a time to meet. We need the open spots filled at Jewel, 131st and LaGrange Rd, Angelo Caputo’s, Walmart, and Mariano’s. The stores that need additional people have been marked with an asterisk (*). 

 

Please remember we are approximately 4 weeks away from the first fund drive.

Respectfully,

Bob Reger, Junior Vice Commander

Senior Vice Commander’s Call




​

Our membership has remained pretty consistent over the past couple of months.  We are currently at 132 members. Considering we started the Legion year with 137 on our duty roster that is a very good showing. I know I have said it before, but I want to express my appreciation to all of you who have answered the call of duty and who have continued with your membership in the post.

 

Best birthday wishes go out to Commander Tom Chambers who will be celebrating his 80th when you receive this newsletter. It just seems like yesterday when we were talking about celebrating his 65th. As we all know for some reason as we age the days just seem to blend in with each other and time seems to move faster. Hell, the 14 hours I put in when I first pulled KP was like an eternity. I am sure we all have some positive memories of our service but fighting the "pot and pan war" was not one of mine.

 

Next month we will conducting our annual "Memorial Day Poppy Fund Drive". I am sure we have had a strong response to sign up for this event. I believe most of the locales we go to are set up for Friday May 15th and Saturday the 16th. Kindly reach out to Jr Vice Reger to offer your support. I am sure our own proud Navy Veteran "Bosun Bob" will appreciate it. For the past almost 20 years I have done this I have found it is not only a good way to raise monies for the various Veteran charities we support but also a venue where you can have fun and share some camaraderie with your fellow members. God Bless and take care.

Take care and as always God bless,

Dean Morrell, Senior Vice Commander
