Dear VFW Family
I am sorry that it has been a few months since my last letter. I am sorry to inform you that we lost four members in March. They were George English, Bob Wise, Kenny Way, and Jay Dietz. The Post will miss them all but especially Jay Dietz. If you every saw him at the Post, he was always working in the garden area or cutting the grass around the Post. Jay we are going to miss you.
Now let's talk about the past two months. I would like to Thank all the people that helped out on the following events. The Sweet Heart Dance was a great success. We had over 60 people at tthe event. I would like to let you know we had a great turn out for the Youth Banquet. Our winner for our Patriot Pen took second place at Mid-Winter Convention in Little Rock this year.
Now let's talk about what has been happen at our Post. We had the well drilled to fill up the pond. A pump was installed and we are now putting water into the pond. It will take several day unless Mother Nature helps us out. We are hoping to start the pavilion this summer.
I want to remind all of you that we are holding elections this month. If you are wanting to run for a position in the Post please show up. There are several position that are open. Mike Ford is stepping down has the Commander of the Post Honor Guard. We are looking for a person to head up that position. The Post doesn't need to give up the Honor Guard. It has been here at the Post for over 20 years. Let's keep honoring our fallen comrades and give them what we are entitled
to. Mike thank you for your leadership and support to the Honor Guard.
This month we have the District Meeting. If you want to serve at that level, you must be at the meeting to be voted in. The date is 19th of April. I hope to see everyone at the Post and District meetings. Thank you all for the support and let's keep the Post going in the right direction.
Sincerely
Jerry Tobey
VFW Post 3031 Commander
