 ..COMMANDER’S COMMENTS.
May brought us a very interesting Election Day this past General Meeting. We finally have a new Commander after 4 years – thank God. Also, over half the staff is brand new officers this year, which is great for the Post. The Post accomplishes many programs during the year, we sincerely could use some help running them. Get in touch with Dave Viechec (your new Commander) or someone on the staff to let them know you are willing to help. Dave promises to continue to do his best to keep this Post on the up side, and a friendly place to bring your friends and family.
The Riders and the SONs of the Legion still have their elections coming up this month. Please come out if you are a Rider or one of our SONs to support your group and help at their elections in June. They need help running their programs and meetings, also. This Post would not exits if it weren’t for members participating and keeping our groups thriving.
June will be a busy month for the Boys State Program. We will run two Boys State Orientation Meetings and assure the High School Seniors get on the bus the 17th of June for their trip to Tallahassee. They will return on the 23rd of June. The Memorial Brick Project, in front of the Post, just got a second order of bricks in and they were placed on Memorial Day. Thanks again to Bob Stoughton for his dedicated time and effort getting this started last year. Now, by mid-August we will make another order for the Engraved Bricks, and place them in the Brick Memorial Garden on Veterans Day. So, you still have three months to order your memorial brick for a Loved one or Close Friend. Just stop by the Post Lounge and fill out an order form for a Memorial Brick.

Monthly meetings are on the 3rd Tuesday of every month. This month, on the 19th of June, we will have elections for our Officers for the SONs. These meetings are going well, but we need more of you coming out and participating, especially for elections. Our SON's Golf Tournament Fund-raiser for the “Special Olympics” was changed to August 12th this year. Get a team together and come have some fun. We need everyone's support to make this Fund-raiser successful like we have done in the past.
