The new 2012 membership cards are here, so be

on the lookout for your renewal notice. Anyone who has-

n’t received a renewal letter please let me know ASAP.

If you have a new address let me know so I can get your

renewal out to you. Remember you cannot drink at the

Legion if you do not have a current card. I will give the

list of unpaid member to the bartenders and they will not

serve you until you pay your dues. We still have a few

sons’ emails that are not working. If you are not getting

yours by email please let me know. Anyone who is not

receiving your newsletter via e-mail please drop me a

note and we will get it fixed.

Attention all Sons we have the third Wednesday

night bingo at the Legion. We need more help 3-7:30.

We need help with set up as well as in the kitchen.

We need more Sons to attend our meetings we

have a busy year ahead of us.

If any Sons member would like anything put in

our news please let me know. You can leave me a note in

our mailbox or call me 679-8361 and we will get it in the

newsletter. We would like to see as many sons attend the-

se meeting so we can get some new ideas of things to do.

We have a very busy year ahead so please come and help.

Here is a list of the next few meetings. THEY START

AT 7:00, NOTE THEY ARE ON TUESDAYS NOW.

The last meeting will be June, 26 till September.

I would also like to extend my thanks to all of the

Sons who have helped with our fund raisers. There

seems to always be the same few members who help.

The annual cash raffle to be drawn at Clamfest is under-

way. I would like to see as many Sons as possible at

clamfest to help sell our raffle tickets. We will also be

hosting the Beach Party Aug 4th with the Auxiliary.

Please, we need everyone’s help see Linda or Bill. The

tickets for the Beach Party are available, see Linda. We

hope to do more fundraisers like this soon and hope to get

the same amount of help it really goes smoother with

more help thank you.

Lastly and most importantly everyone keep the

427th Brigade in your prayers and thoughts. Some of

these troops are our own members.

I’m looking forward to seeing you around at the

post and our meetings.

Thank you,

Bill Bell

Adjutant’s Agitation By Doug Herrmann

BRING ON THE NEW YEAR

Yeah, I know, that was in January, but I’m talking

about the 2013 dues year for National. As we all know,

National will start sending out renewals in about 3-4

weeks, as they just sent us the new membership cards.

Our goal this coming year has not been decided by Na-

tional, but should be around 620.

JUST A COUNT and I still have 61 2012 renewals that

are waiting for dues to be paid. Some of them will be

dropped by National this year and I am going to start

going through them and dropping them from our rolls

as well.

LETS ALL GET OUR RENEWALS IN AS SOON AS

POSSIBLE THIS YEAR.

REMEMBER = NEW MEMBERS ARE NEEDED.
