District 2 Commander
I would like to thank the members of the district for allowing me to serve as your District Commander for a second term. I am very grateful for the support I have received from each of you.
The past year has been a challenge to all of us as individuals as well as a VFW community. Many of our plans have been placed on hold, now is the time we must safely get ourselves back on track. We must work together to share our talents and gain the much needed membership we are all seeking. A strong local presence can help us grow in the district, state and nationally.
We must come up with innovative ways to assist our posts with their building that have been left stagnant with the closing of their halls and the loss of income due to the cancellations of the rentals due to the COVID crisis. We must support the halls we have left.
I am a true believer in the passing of pertinent information on to as many members as we can. Many of you have provided me with great information which we have all benefited from. I have set up an email address of NJDistrict2VFW@gmail.com to build contacts within our district and the ability to pass on these contacts to the next D2 Commander. Please share this email with your post members so they can send me an email to get on the contact list.
I would like to thank the District Auxiliary for all of your support and wisdom, especially President Rosann Nemec for your tireless devotion to the cause.
District 2 Meetings are now posted on District 2 website calender. Try to have a representative at the meetings. Together we can achieve more.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns at mikedevine@optonline.net or 201.788.7678.
Semper Fi,
Mike Devine
District 2 Commander
