District 2 Commander

To All:
It is the start of a new year and I have been watching the reports from Bill Thomson and I am
really impressed with a lot of our Posts that have done really great this year with membership.
Our District last year purchased a 10×10 canopy with the VFW logo on it to have available to
any post that would like to use it for their membership drive.
Just call me if you would like to use it and I also have VFW Membership recruiting brochures
and applications. Call Bill Thomson or myself if you would like help in your recruiting efforts.
We have two more District Bingo’s coming up. The first is on March 19 at 2:00 p.m. and the
second is on April 23rd at 2:00 p.m. Please come out and support these events.
THINK SPRING – THINK POPPIES – recruiting new membership, think 100%.
Pretty soon we will be having our District 2 convention in May and in June we will be attending
our Department Convention.
Our schedule for the next 6 months is as follows:
January 24 – District #2 meeting at Post 5084 Elmwood Park;
February 28 – meeting at Post 337 Fairview
March 28 – meeting at Post 809 Little Ferry;
April 25 – meeting at Post 2867 Garfield;
May 16 – meeting at Post 4591 Hasbrouck Heights. All meetings start at 7:30 p.m.
Last but not least a salute to both our District officers and our District #2 committees and all our
posts for all their efforts this past year in helping our veterans and keeping the VFW torch alive.
