Legionnaires!
Friday night several members of our Post attended the NCD Membership Rally joining about another 150 attendees. At that rally, Post 156 was distinguished by Department as being the first Post in the District to attain our 100% membership goal and was later presented a Membership Plaque (not certificate) for exceeding the Department’s goal!! I accepted the honor for the Post!!
I must take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to each member of our Post for renewing their membership so promptly, for taking the time to remind others to renew and for actively seeking new Veterans to JOIN!! Although we all had our roles, I must bring special recognition to Bill Klein and John Horan for their perseverance, attention and determination in having this goal reached so quickly!
As your Commander, I am both honored and proud of all members of Post 156! I remain committed to you and increasing value to your membership by increasing our level of involvement supporting our Active Duty forces, our Veterans, community service members and our youth! I look forward to your continued active participation and support!!
Respectfully,
Ed Hall
Commander
