The Commanders1 Notes
This article taken from the American Legion District 5 News letter
I've often wondered what
makes up a good Post? It's
members, of course. But what
kind of members? Members that
give of their time without
expecting a reward. Members
who really just want to promote
the American Legion programs
and work for the good of the
community. However, after
awhile, people or Post politics
enter the situation and
everything become distorted.
People's feelings get hurt or they
get discouraged and no one
makes the effort to set things
right. Before you know it, the
workers don't show up and
things don't get done. If it
continues, then the Post seems
to die out. Take a look at your
Post and make sure that the lack
Court notices-
of communication has not
started to erode the workings of
your Post. Remember, all good
relationships require constant
and clear Communication.
For those who did not attend
DEC in Albany, you missed a
great workshop. We learned
how we all fit into the scope of
work and extra effort.
The next District meeting is
Roundup in Prineville
scheduled for March 26-28.
This is the time for up coming
candidates for offices to make
them selves known. We will
also have John Hutchison from
the Oregon Veterans' Home
being on the team and making there for a presentation and to
projects work. If any of you are answer any questions you may
interested, contact me and I will have, plan to attend,
get you the information. At the Spring DEC meeting,
District 5 has added Spray April 10-1 1, we will be honored
and Madras to the Goal Post by a visit from our National
club for the year. This brings
the total of 5 Goal Posts for
District 5. As of this writing,
District 5 is in third place in the
state for membership. Your hard
work is paying off and I want to
thank all of you for your hard
Commander Butch Miller.
Let's show him what District
5 is all about and attend this
meeting and any planned
function by Hood River and
the Oregon Veterans' Home.
