Commanders MessageWe had a busy month so far with the yard sale and the District

Conference. I would like to say thank you to the Ladys Aux.

for cooking and serving the dinner it was very good. We made

$400.00 from the yard sale and the money from that sale is for the

Insurance Fund. I had ordered a 20 yard dumpster and came very

close to lling it with the junk from the back room, you can see the

oor now and a little cleaning out the front room as well. I did the

cleaning by my self, oh dont get me wrong there were people who

had plan on doing it but they didnt have the time.

Some of you may have noticed the new at screen T.V. in our

lounge and it was donated by Doug and Janet Worthington and if

you know who they are and when you see them say Thank You. Also

I like to say Thank You to Chris and Jeff Arbogast for making the

sandwichs and soup. They have made great meals for our post every

day and be sure if you can afford it to make a donation in the box by

the soup when you get your self a sandwich or soup or both.

For God and Country,

Carl Jensen/Post 34 Commander

Presidents MessageThe CBVC, Inc. hired Mike Brown, the Residential and Program

Director for the Coalitions Wagenaar-Pster House. Mike was

previously the program manager for CORD in Walla Walla, and

our project is modeled after the CORD Program. Mike brings a

wealth of experience and knowledge to the Coalition and he has

already made quality improvements to our House program.

Veterans Day was established by President Woodrow Wilson

on 11 November 1919, one year after the end of World War I. The

purpose of Veterans Day is to set aside time and honor our living

Veterans; please remember to thank a Veteran and their family!

Any nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure.

President Abraham Lincoln

Freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the

courage to defend it. Pericles

As a reminder, please refer veterans to the Coalition if they are

in-need of a Thanksgiving meal.

Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for your support to the

Veterans Coalition!

National will increase Membership

Dues by $4 for 2013. We need to

determine if we want to increasewhat each individual member pays or

decrease the amount we keep for our

Unit Funds. Currently we pay $20 of

the $30 collected from each member to

Dept./National. This should be voted

on in the November Meeting since we

need to send the notice to increase dues

to in by January.

Thanks to Rosealee Irwin the Ladies

restroom has been painted and looks

great. She got the paint donated and

convinced Donna Trethewey and

Shirley Thacker to help her with the

painting.

At the November meeting we need

to decide if we want to have a Chinese

Gift Exchange and Goodie Night for

the December Meeting.

The 2012 Membership cards were

sent out from National with the number

of continuous years of membership

incorrect. The cards are showing the

same number of years as last years

due to the cost of replacement.
