* Post Commander's Message - Nov '10 *

AN
AMERICAN LEGION
SALUTE
Nov 13, 2010

Comrades!

    As you have probably heard, the leadership of Post 300 has changed abruptly.  Commander Joseph Young has resigned his position, effective 12 November, 2010.  The Executive committee will hold a meeting on Nov 15th @ 7pm, where I will pass on this information.

Although we are saddened at this turn of events, it does not deter us from our purpose.  The average American Legion Post does not revolve around any one individual.  Therefore, we will not let this change impede us in the pursuit of our goals, which are service to the Community, State, and Nation.  We have for some time now had a large number of activities on our agenda.   I do not believe that we should let this turn of events affect our plans.   We have a Wonderful Post!   Our Canteen Manager, Angela Sears, is doing an awesome job, and we all need to continue giving her our support.   She doesn't realize it, but she truly is the backbone of our success!!   Kudos also go to Leonard Sorbel, Dana Moran, Anne Marie Wiley and Karen Lindskog, our bartenders!

But you, the members, are the the real driving force behind the Post and its success or failure.  I am proud of each and everyone of you!  Your contributions are invaluable to our success.  Thank you for all you do.  Our goal is to make this Post an inviting place of respect for all of our members and guests.

The members of this Post do that!   We have a big schedule of events for this calendar year, and with your help, we will make them happen!  I am proud to have the opportunity to serve as your Post Commander.  I pledge to do the best job I can for you but I know I will need your support as we go forward.   Here's to a GREAT 2010 FINISH, and a more prosperous 2011!  Thanks for all you do!

 

For God and Country,
Ali Martinez
