Commander’s Corner
Stan Kinney –Commander
Many congratulations to post 89 members who have excelled in the AMVETS organization. Bravo Zulu to Merle Pratt who was elected to State Department Commander. He will be on the road a lot this year visiting posts throughout the state, so I will forgive him for missing a meeting or two.
Larry Badzinski will be the State Provost Marshall again for 2009-2010 & Dave Hepler will be the 12th District Commander. I myself just finished up my tour as State Saddest in the Sad Sacks. Our own Post 89 Honor Guard will be the State Honor Guard which they have done many times before. They are a well trained & disciplined group of soldiers that are always on point and led under Captain Larry Mead.
The Ladies Aux. has many talented officers as well, and are taking state & district offices. Post 89 is full of great AMVETS and that is why post 89 is still around. Many thanks to the members that helped with our reception for Merle Pratt after the convention. At the June membership meeting, Dave Davis was elected as a trustee. He has been at 89 for many years and he will do well as trustee.
Our post picnic and awards ceremony will be on the 25th at 1pm. The post will provide some chicken, brats, hot dogs, beans, & soda. Please bring a covered dish to pass. We will have games & entertainment. The post picnic is for post members and family members only.
There will be a CCW class on Sept. 12th & 13th. Applications are in the clubroom. Congratulations to Clancy Carrel for being awarded most improved career center in the state of Ohio. He received a beautiful trophy which is displayed in the carer center.
We WILL have our famous subs on July 3rd. Please call in early in the week for your order. They are great to take on a picnic. On August 22nd & 23rd Post 89 will sponsor the State Golf Tournament. We will have many people from out of town at the post and Friday the 21st, the Sacks will have a special dinner. There will be a steak dinner Saturday the 22nd in the afternoon in the shelter house. Bring your family. If you want to golf, registration papers for the tournament are available in the clubroom. We really need volunteers for this event. Please set aside some time for that weekend to help your post.
Thanks for spending time with me today and see you at the post(5th largest in the state).
