Plans for our next General Meeting By Dan Thompson Commander Last months newsletter consisted exclusively on the post condition, with focus on its general health, the membership. Although we have size in membership we have run out of people to do the work. There are nine officers needed and only six (according to survey) will take another officer position. I, at the young age of 65, most are in there 70’s, 80’s and one I know just turned 90. Most are ill or there spouse is ill, which in any case need attention to health issues. The survey sent out had little results as to keeping the post running. What are we going to do? The choice is yours. November 10, 2009 is the next Legion meeting. I have invited the District and District Vice Commanders to attend the meeting. I hope they will be able to give us the help needed. The realization of the matter is we need more people to get involved. Lots of hard work has gone into this post. Our standing in the community is our post pride and joy. We are not going to give it up without a fight. The real world, we may have to fold. If that happens we need YOU to be there. The decision isn’t up to the executive board. They will make the recommendation based on the membership results but then YOU will have to say yes or no. You will have to step up and take an officers position. Just holding a card won’t keep it running. Please be at the November meeting. Updated Post #64 Statistics Our post statistics as of today are as follows: Goal - 86 members Paid Up for Life (PUFL) - 17 Renewals - 43 Total - 60 Paid Members Unpaid Members - 21 % of Total based on 86 members - 69.77% Goal for Month of October - 65% Updated Analysis An analysis of participation in post activities provides the following data: # Active members - 16 (12 are Post Officers) # Members who attend meetings - 15 (12 are Post Officers) # Members not active who live in area - 68 # Members who support the post but don’t live in the area - 18 One can readily observe that interest in the post meeting is limited. Those who perform most of the post functions in our community are post officers. Survey Results 15 or our 85 members responded to the survey. That represents 18% of our membership. 6 - Would serve as Post Officers 11 - Would attend Monthly Legion Meetings 2 - Would store the flags from our Flag Program 3 - Would Manage Flag Routes (We have 4routes) 3 - Would run the VA Bingo once a month 3 - Would Administer Boys State Program 1 - Would Administer Oratory Program 10 - Participate in Fund Raising 1 - Would Manage Boys Scout Program 5 - Would Manage Annual Clothes Drive 6 - Would Volunteer @ the VA 9 - Would Ring Bells for the Salvation Army 2 - Would Manage Annual Fund Raising Dinner 1 - Would Manage Flag Retirement ********************************************************************************* •Membership: Max Richardson Teams: - Windmill Ridge - Tom Miller - Ingram Oaks - Jim Ownbey - Riverside - Russ Speer - Ingram Area - Jeanne Cade • Social - Jim Ownbey - Christmas Party - Jim Ownbey - Valentines Dinner - Jim Ownbey • V.A.
