I have written this message and rewritten it multiple times, making up my mind as to what to say. I want to start with a big THANK YOU to all the people who came to my testimonial dinner. What a wonderful night. Members from all branches of the family showing up to support one another. Donations made towards my project for the year, lots of great gifts and fun. My granddaughter, and Junior member, Sophia Kanenberg read my bio and introduced me. I knew what she was going to say, but listening to that little voice read it, made my heart melt.
April is the month to celebrate Military children and their families. Remember to wear purple on Purple Up Day April 15th to show our support.
Things to think about:
How old is your Unit? My unit – West Hartford #96 celebrated our 100th birthday in March with a lovely celebration with many Department officers in attendance. If you do have a celebration, invite other units to join you.
How are your perceived in your community? What are you doing to show your unit in a positive way? Is there such a thing as too many activities at your post or unit? Are you doing so many things that your participation has gone down? Maybe try once or twice a month instead of every week. Kudos to those who can get members to be active, we just don't want to burn out our members.
I really would like to see pretty flowers in May so hopefully April won’t be as rainy as March!!
Keep working the mission and supporting our Veterans.
Respectfully,
Jennifer McLeod
