Given the Pandemic situation it’s a risk to hold the regular scheduled meetings. Consequently, all meetings are officially cancelled by the Post Officers. We will be polling the Officers each month to determine if the majority wants to hold a meeting. Of course, we’ll practice the CDC Guidelines of wearing a mask and social distancing. The meeting status will be posted on the WEB Home page at www.gapost143.org, WEB calendar @ www. localendar.com/public/post143 and in the Times-Georgian Newspaper. The 2021 Membership renewals are in progress. Thanks to those members who have already renewed their respective memberships and we look forward to achieving 100% renewal by December 21, 2020. Sr. Vice Cmdr. Randy Purser will describe the easy and convenient methods to renew your membership. We will be proposing three 2020-2021 Goals to the Executive Committee as follows: 1.) Explore broadcasting Virtual meeting proceedings. (Lead, Frank Joswick) 2.) Formalize a “Buddy Check” system for contacting each member on a monthly basis. (Bill Maddox will Lead this program.) 3.) Amend the Constitution, By-Laws, and Standard Operating Practices. (Richard Guynn will lead this effort.) In closing, I’m honored and excited to have been selected to serve as the Post 143 Commander for the period July 2020-June 2021. This China disease will slow our programs down, however, it will not stop our service to veterans and respective families. This determination is exemplified by continuing to provide financial support by the Service Officer and rendering Military Honors at veteran’s funerals by the Post Honor Guard. We improvise, adapt, and overcome, Legionnaires! You may contact me by calling 404.406.4721 and/or email at commander@gapost143.org THANKS TO EACH OF YOU FOR CONTINUING TO SERVE! |
