From Post Judge Advocate This month we start the
process of electing new Post Officers.
Nominations begin at the General Membership
Meeting on April 13, 2010. Elections will be
June 8, 2010. Please run for an office if you
want to get involved with the business of the
Post and what we do for the Veterans and
children. Dont run if you dont have any idea
what the position you want does or, is supposed
to do. If you want to know the responsibilities
of the Post Officers, please see me and I will
get you a copy of the Post By-laws. Dont run
because your mad at the current Officers, run
because you want to make a difference and the
Post better. Jimmy Lee Martin
