THE AMERICAN LEGION POST 196
DELAFIELD, WAUKESHA COUNTY WISCONSIN
Finally with summer upon us, the post is getting somewhat busy; with all the outside activities and events taking place all over the area.
Memorial Day service went very well; many from our community and Legion Family were in attendance. On that same day, in the afternoon a service for the Civil War’s 150th anniversary was held on our Legion grounds. We held elections at our last meeting. With that being completed, all officers remain the same only two positions switched. The old Finance Officer is now the Second Vice-Commander and the old Second Vice Commander is now our Finance Officer.
There are a few of you who still have not paid dues for 2012, please pay them by the end of June to remain on our Roster. Check your membership card if you don’t have a 2011 membership card, your dues are still due.
Be sure to be at the next meeting where some Eagle Scouts will be present looking for summer projects. If you have an idea or two be sure to either be there, or let me or any of the officers know before our June meeting. Hopefully we will see some snowbirds and/or new faces at our next meeting.
This and That:
We are still looking for volunteers for the big golf outing (we also are looking for a few more golfers).
The 4th of July is just around the corner, and Kelly is looking for all the help she can get. We could use a few more Parade entrees, let us know if you have or know of any,
Our Expansion Committee has decided to have meetings every other month. Trying to raise moneys in these trying times is quite hard.
The Legion State Convention is coming up soon. It will be on July 13-17 at Appleton Paper Valley Hotel and Conference Center.
A Silent March will be held on September 19th at Legion Post 294 in Hartland.
District 1 Fall Conference is Sunday, October 2, 2011 at Legion Post 399 in Okauchee (8:00 AM service followed by conference at 9:00 AM.
Enjoy your summer like weather, and feel free to help out a fellow vet.
