Welcome

Well, this will be my last letter. I have enjoyed my time as Commander of Post 1079. We have, with your help, made something possible. And I hope you will all help our new Commander, John Polgar, do a great job. We have to volunteer our time and effort in serving those veterans in need. This is our most important goal.

Come and enjoy your Post, and be active in it. It's always easy to let someone else do it, but we all must share in the responsibility.

I also want to express my thanks to those in the Post & Auxiliary for all your assistance throughout the past 2 years. You know who you are, and I can't Thank You enough. Your help made it all worthwhile. Yours in Comradeship, Marty Blaine, Cmdr

The Auxiliary wishes to thank all the members that paid their dues this year. We didn't quite make our quota, but we ended up at 96%. Just remember that our new year starts right after the State Convention, July 1st., and that is when you start paying your dues of $18.00 for the New Year, 2002. Help your new President, Wilma Zech, reach her 100% goal next year by paying your dues early.

As this will be my last Newsletter, I would like to thank all the members of the Auxiliary for the kindness that you have shown me during my year as your President. To my Officers and Chairman, I want to thank you for all your support through the year. Without you I could never have made it. You are the Backbone of the Auxiliary.

To our Commander, Martin Blaine, and to all the officers and Post members, I thank you for all your kindness throughout the year. To our newly elected Commander for 2001/2002, John Polgar, the auxiliary wishes you a great and successful year. If the auxiliary can be of any assistance to you, feel free to call on us, for that is what we are here for, to support our Veterans when they need us.

Congratulations to all the new Officers, Post & Auxiliary,. We hope your year will be great.
