Fellow Veterans and Members of Post
2280 we are embarking on our first full year of operations with
no club in nearly 30 years. Yes we have been through this
before. Talking to older members and others at the
Nebraska VFW Convention I find this is actually the third and
perhaps the fourth time since 1947 this has happened.
And in each of the prior periods we
not only survived but we rose like a phoenix from the ashes and
were actually stronger in the long run. And it is my
intention to take off in that very direction starting right now!
We are holding a family picnic in
July for the first time in about a decade. Sometime
between mid August and mid September we will hold a community
Buddy Poppy distribution. In Mid September we will hold
our second attempt at a POW/MIA event. And more to follow.
This year the POW/MIA event will be
a Memorial Road Rally visiting the Metro areas veterans sites.
We are still coming up with the route and are looking for
workers to help with the event.
One big note is I am compiling a
phone roster of our membership. This is something we have
not had in many years. This will allow us to make phone
calls to many members to pass information, seek assistance, and
other short term issues. So in the coming future you may
be getting a call from a fellow Post member to discuss the Post
with you.
At any point throughout the year if
you have a question or comment you can contact me any of three
ways. My Post e-mail is
commander@vfw2280.org
. My personal e-mail address is
scoutsage1@aol.com .
And my home phone is 402-292-6904 (there is a voice mail ability
on this number please include your name, date, time and phone
number in the message).
May God Bless You and the United States
of America
