Greetings from the
Commander
Important Message from the
Commander
May brings us to the point of
nominating your officers for the upcoming year. Any Legionnaire
who wishes to be nominated for a Post 712 officer’s position
needs to make their wishes known at the Post 712 Meeting, Monday
June 3rd, 2019. Qualified individuals must be a
veteran and a member in good standing in the American Legion.
Our Adjutant Dave Masslon will chair the nominating committee.
Positions under
consideration are:
Commander, 1st
Vice Commander, 2nd Vice Commander,
and Finance Officer.
Post Elections will be held
at the Post 712 Meeting Monday July 1st 2019, at
7:00pm.
New Adjutant
I am pleased to
inform the membership that veteran Dave Masslon has volunteered
to become our newest adjutant. Dave is highly qualified and we
are extremely fortunate that he has offered to take on this
important role.
We are still in
need of a replacement for our friend Bill Weikel, our
Sergeant-at-Arms. Interested parties should leave contact
information with the bar manager or one of the post officers.
Just a Reminder
Please, when you
are out and about, whether driving or on foot, be aware of your
surroundings. There are far too many incidents of people injured
or killed this spring because of speeding or drivers making
impulsive decisions without realizing the implications of those
poor decisions. Also put those phones away! You can avoid injury
from tripping, walking in front of a car, and if driving, avoid
a serious accident just by setting that cell phone down.
Don’t forget about Mother’s
Day on the 12th of May and Armed Forces Day on the 18th,
which honors active duty members.
Memorial
Day Monday May 27, 2019
If there is anyone wishing to
participate for the upcoming Memorial Day observance, please
meet at the post no later than 9:00 AM. For those that wish to
go directly to Jefferson Memorial Cemetery are to assemble
behind the administration building no later than 10:30 AM. After
our ceremony at Jefferson, we will meet at the Pleasant Hills
Cloverleaf to raise our colors. We will then proceed to
Jefferson High School. After those ceremonies have concluded, we
will then return to Post 712 to honor our flag. A lunch will be
provided for those in attendance.
Any member who would be
willing to volunteer at the Post on Memorial Day, please contact
our manager Debbie Michalski. We will accept help Social
Members, Auxiliary, Sons, Riders, Veteran Post Members and their
families.
Respectfully submitted,
Lee Phillips
Commander
American Legion
Post 712
