Membership

We are still working on 2012 membership dues. The Ninth District has come up to 2nd place since last month. The 9th District needs 504 more membership cards to make 100%.

Here at Mitchell, we have 489 cards turned in. This includes 22 new members, which puts us at 88.43%. We need 64 more members to meet out 2012 membership goal of 553.

Many people who have not paid their dues are losing their membership benefits. We have sent letters and made phone calls to as many as possible that have not paid their dues yet.

The close of books for 2012 will be June 30th, and those who are 2 years behind will be dropped form the roster.

During the later part of the month of May many flags will be placed on veterans graves in cemeteries in our area. There will be over 1000 flags placed in the Mitchell cemtery alson. Althouh we have several members who place these flags, more new help is always appreciated. If anyone is interested in helping us you may inquire at the post.

Did you know that the American Legion has an excellent children and youth program?

The American Legions Chilfdren and Youth program has three main objectives.

1 To strengthen the family unit

2 to maintain well-rounded youth programs

3 to support other organizations which serve children and youth

Some of these programs include National Family Week, Child Health, Teenage suicide Prevention, Temporary Finincial Assistance and the Anerican Legion Child Welfare Foundation.

Is this one more good reason to help support our veterans through the American Legion. I think it is.

If anyone knows of someone who has recently returned form active service, we would be honored to talk to them about what the American Legion represents to service personnel. Daily office hours are from 9a to 5p Monday thru Friday

Sincerely

Jim G Membership Chairman
