NEWSLETTER APR/MAY/JUN2023
LATE NEWSLETTER:We do try to get the Newsletter out every three months but due to some issues this one is late.
MARCH LEGION BIRTHDAY DINNER:There was no interest in having the Legion Birthday dinner this year so it was not held. This is one of the reasons of the late Newsletter because we would have attached the reservation for the dinner in the letter.
EMAIL ADDRESS: We have several email addresses that don’t work anymore. Please let us know if you have a change so we can update our mailing list. Mail or send us an email, or text/call Dick Waechter at 920-918-2013 with the changes. It not only saves us money on mailings but also saves us a lot of time and work. Also, we will email you the minutes from all our membership meetings. Thanks.
SAL MEMBERS: Just a couple of weeks ago we finally received the new Membership Cards for 2022/2023. But I have been typing out the blank cards so don’t worry about receiving the pre-printed cards. We still have several SAL members that did not yet renew for 2023. The dues are thirteen dollars ($13.00). You can mail a check to our address and we will get your card mailed out to you.
ACTIVE DUTY CONFIRMATION:
There are several members that are on active duty that we need to confirm their status. Post 347 pays the Legion Membership dues while on active duty. Please email the post (amerleg_lomira347@yahoo.com) or send us a letter to let us know if you are on active duty and where you are stationed. If we do not hear from you, it may terminate your payment status.
Scholarship Raffle winners 2022/23:
NOV – Randy Dittberner & Ken Candee
DEC – Mike Bauer & Tony Schraufnagel
JAN – Tom O’Connor & Eugene Phalzgraf
FEB – Lois Jewson & Phil Bird
MAR – Sheryl Jewson & Dick Waechter
DECEASED MEMBERS:
It has now happened in a couple of instances that we are unaware of a member passing away. This has happened especially when the member lived out of the area. Our post is responsible for notifying National Headquarters when a member has died.
BLOOD DRIVE:
\April 24th, 2023 12-6 PM, at Trinity United Methodist Church, Lomira, WI
Members who donate blood are asked to let us know so we can notify the American Legion Dodge County Blood Drive committee. Again, you can email the post or text/call Dick Waechter (920-918-2013).
CONTINUOUS MEMBERSHIP AWARDS:
At our April 20th membership meeting we will be handing out the Continuous Membership Awards for 2023. Pictures will be taken and put on our website. Those unable to attend will have the awards mailed to them.
