February 2014 NEXT MEETING: March 4, 2015 www.erievfw.com Comrades, I knew ahead of time that the February meeting was going to have a few members absent due to sickness and vacations. But then the weather acted up so we had even fewer. We did have 10 members attend so the show went on. The charter was draped for 2 members. Joe Walentowski and August Rahe were remembered. We did four funerals in January. We still are in need of help. One of the funerals only had enough members to fire 2 rifles. The muskrat dinner went well with over 125 people attending. We made a decent profit. Everything went smoothly. Our Jr. Vice, Larry Chambers was chairman and as usual men’s auxiliary member Joe Dusseau was in charge of the cooking. I am not going to name anyone else specifically because there are so many and I do not want to omit anyone. I will say to everyone that helped THANK YOU!!! Job well done. We still need members to hall guard and do hall clean up. There is compensation for this. If you are interested, call Chris Stark at (734) 625-6640 or Dave Toepfer at (419) 726-1905. There will be a blood drive February 16th donate if you are able. Next meeting we will have nominations for officers with the election at April’s meeting. We need people to step up. These jobs are not hard or very time consuming but the chairs have to be filled. So please consider taking a position. At the district meeting we were told that the Michigan Overseas Veteran (MOV) will go digital. To continue to get it in the mail you will have to send in a form. To get it on line, you will have to give department your email address. You should get more info in the next issue of the MOV. If not I will try to keep you updated. Hope to see you March 4th Mike Santure: Commander (734) 243-1645 |
