From the Commander 

I hope everyone survived the snow and ice storm with minimal or no property damage.  I want to especially thank all the volunteers who helped dig the Post out and make the parking lots safe for the members and Bingo players.

** Our Service Officer, Austin Clark has accepted a position in his home state (much to our dismay) and will be leaving us at the end of February so we’ll be looking for a new Service Officer.  If you want more information about the position, call the Service Office at 472-2552/extension 2.
    
We have lots of things to do at the Post in February so take a look at the calendar and come on down.

From the 1st Vice, WELCOME to our new members: Kristin Nebiker, Jonathan Maddox, Todd Dean, James Earl Jr., Abner Williams, Walter Vaughn, Charles Pringle, Michael Myers, David Holsner and Bill Girnau. As of 19 Jan 2012, Post membership is as follows:  Life members: 1,362, Annual members: 550, with 154 still to renew.  Total is 1,912 paid Post members.
 
From the 2nd Vice:  Our congratulations go out to Graydon Frack for earning the AMVETS 2011 Volunteer of the Year award.  To learn more about this remarkable achievement: log onto our web site and click on the programs button.  Hint: turn in your volunteer slips.
