From Your SAL Commander:First off, congratulations to all our newly elected family of officers! lt promises to be a good year.
Your new Squadron officers are:
Commander: Ron (ChiP) Conrad
1st Vice: Rick Shull2nd Vice: Rich PetitAdiutant: Joe SchultisChaplain: lra MagginnisFinance: Doug HeiserSqt.-at-Arms: John AndrewsPost advisor: Ron Kizer.
Historian: Still open. lf you, or if you know anyone that would like to fill this office, please let anyone of
us know.Now on to outgoing officers:
A huge shout out goes to the Detachment of lndiana Commander, our own Joe Schuttis! His
Commander project this year is Child Welfare Foundation. With his direction, The State of lndiana
raised a whopping g110,000 to go toward this worthwhile cause! That number tied the State of
Arizona which, by no small coincidence, is the home state of our SAL National Commander, Jeff
Frain .... $t 10,0001!l That's almost 3 times the old record set last year. When you see him, let him
know that you know how hard he worked over the last year.
Also, a big thanks to our past Squadron Commander and our new Finance Officer, Doug
Heiser for a great past year of leadership and service to our squadron. He works very hard at
everything he does so next time you see him tell him thanks for his dedication. On a personal note: I
Iook forward to your help in guiding me through my first year as Commander!
Finally, thanks to Denny Meschburger our outgoing Post Advisor. Without a good advisor and
help from our Legion members, We aS a group would not survive.
Be on the ;ook-out for your 20{8 renewal notices. I know it may seem early but ourmembership dues are vital in keeping our many programs going. Renewal bv The 4th of
rnWe always need ideas on raffles and fundraisers. Not necessarily anything big, just think of
anything fun you would like to win or be a part of. (Within reason)please don't hesitate to contact any of your officers with any questions. Better yet, come check
out our meetings. Bring your question/concerns or any new ideas. We are always happy to see
you there. Meetinqs are everv 3rd Mondav at 7:00 pm.
Also. our Burqers and Fries niqht will continue everv 4th Wednesdav of the month from 5'7.
Come on down and enjoy the best burgers around. Thanks to all who put this on every month. lt has
become a great success! Don't forget, we are always looking for help. Volunteers do have a good
time. Really!l'll leave you with this:Our incoming SAL Detachment (State) Commander, Dewey Long's motto this year is:
See a Vet. thank aVet. Good words to live by!
Hopefuly l,tt,see you at the Post soon! Until then, may God bless you and your family and our
Veterans for their service past, present and future!
Ron "Chip" Conrad, Squadron Commander

From your ALR Director:
Hello all Riders.Had a wonderful ride the last couple weeks. Not much participation though. Wondering how
everyone is doing.I brought up the idea of hosting the state rally in 2019. Reason being it's the anniversary of the
American te6ion and we are the oldest chapter in Indiana. Just makes sense to me. This event will
take everyone and I want your.input good and bad. t have put feelers out to the camp grounds and
motels as well as other chlpters to pitcfr in help if needed. We have too many around us not to ask.
We have several of our own with health issues please keep checking in on them so we can get
feedback and know when they are ready for a visit from the riders.please support the othlr chapterrides becausb when ours comes around most will return the
favor.Keep those in service and those home in your thoughts and prayers'
Protect those that Protect us.God, bless you and those serving abroad.Ride safe
Your Director proudlY serving.Ron Boyd
