From the Commandant
Last month the officers for the upcoming year were sworn in. I am very pleased to have a strong leadership team in place for the upcoming year. With the continued support of the membership and friends, we will be able to successfully continue the outreach and fellowship that the detachment has maintained for over fifteen years. If you have time to commit to detachment activities, I hope that you will come forward to help. If time is at a premium, please remember that even an hour here or there is a help. Together we are a force to be reckoned with.The immediate mission is to bring the golf tournament to a successful end. Each of us can do something. Making that extra call to get an ad is one thing that is a help. Most of the time, merchants and professionals are happy to help. A personal ad is a nice touch and can be used to recognize someone in your life. Arranging for a raffle prize is another way to help. Chances are that you have something in the house already, like a gift that has not been used, that is appropriate as a prize. Asking at stores that you frequent is often successful. We should all be able to buy a book of chances for the 50/50 raffle. If you are able to help on the day of the tournament, it will be a help. This is where we make the bulk of the funds that support our programs. You can be part of the mission success.
