Post Commander 2022-2023

PLEASE SEE THE EMAIL SCAM WARNING ON THE FRONT PAGE!!!!

I welcome any veteran and their families to this post. We need younger member with fresh ideas. I have come to the final realization that some of my ideas on how this post is handled are probably not in the best interest of this post in these times.  I think those ideas were good when this post was reorganized and reestablished BUT those ideas don’t work now. During my time as an officer of this post, since we revitalized it, my goal was to get it up and running again, get an auxiliary and Sons units established  AND get us a new permanent home. Only one of the three was completed. it’s time for new blood to take over and take this post into the future.

We are fast approaching the end of the Legion year, May 2024.  Our second round of election nominations will be next month at the May 14, 2024 with nominations concluding with this elections.  Formal notifications will be mailed out to those members that do not have an email address on file with us.

Concerning the upcoming elections:

  • I will be term limited out. I like Larry have held an officers position, normally as the Commander, for most of the years since the  reorganization with only a couple of years out of that position and filling the position of another officer.  I have no plans on filling any other officers positions after my current term is up.
  • Larry Eary has stated at the December 2023 meeting that he has no plans on running for the Adjutants position and that he has been doing that job since the post was reformed in 2012 and he needs a replacement to step up to fill his position. He is willing to training a replacement.
  • if some of the current officers fill new positions, new offices will be need top fill those vacancies.

I continue to keep this site updated as much and a soon as possible after  receiving any pertinent information.  It is only through receiving information from the members and the community that those updates can be done to keep our community aware of the activities of the post and how we can better serve the community If you have information that you would like us to consider posting on this site please feel free to contact us. Any and ALL suggestions will be reviewed by the officers and acted upon accordingly. I am constantly looking to improve our communications efforts. While email is our best value for cost we understand some of our members do not have computers so we need to know about them and how to best communicate with them. we currently live feed our meetings on Facebook.

I am striving to keep up, on a weekly and monthly basis, our volunteer time and any monies spent or donations received by the members. My hope is that this will alleviate any problems when the Adjutant completes the Consolidated Post report at the end of the Legion year.  If you have any volunteer time, donations, or approved expenses, please make sure I get that information at the end of each month please. You can also bring that information to the regular monthly meeting.

Our current member renewal stands at  222 of 216 members renewing as of or  102.78% as of the April 9, meeting . We continue to attempt to reach out to our members, especially those of non-renewal to see if they are alright and that perhaps their renewal had been missed. Please contact your 1st Vice Commander Dennis Goedde and our Adjutant Larry Eary for renewals. We request you renew on line through the MyLegion.org website. Thanks to all who renewed your membership and a special thanks to those who worked to get us at 100%!!!!
