ADJUTANT'S CORNER

Message from the Commander

We have had a great start to the 2019 membership year. 
July finished with 102 members paid, 35.54% of our 287 member goal.
At this time we have 125 members paid, 43.55% of our 2019 goal.  
That leaves us 19 members to meet our first goal of 50% and must be received in Austin by Sept 5th.
 
We need your support!  Everyone can and should be a recruiter!  
Please renew your dues, recruit new members and reinstate former members! 
Have you considered being a Paid Up For Life (PUFL) Member?  Check it out and see if it works for you.

I would like to encourage you to renew your membership online at  www.legion.org/renew. ,
                                         it saves us both paper work and the price of a stamp. 
I monitor renewals daily and mail out membership cards accordingly.  I will also have the cards at the meetings, 
If you prefer to renew after the meetings or you can mail them to the address on the renewal.

Thanks to a donation from one of our members, we are raffling 25,000 AA air miles.  
The tickets for the raffle have arrived.  
ER and Legionnaire John Header will be at the Post/Lodge Friday the 3rd after 6 and all day Saturday
                                                           and Sunday morning from 6:30 to about 1pm.  
Or see a Legion Officer, we will find you some tickets.  Come out and buy your tickets.

The American Legion Auxiliary Unit 60 has asked the Legionnaires support in increasing their membership.
