Words from the
Grand Commander!
The
year is almost half over, and we still have several Pup Tents
who have not submitted their Booster Reports or audits as
required by the Supreme By-Laws. The Grand Officers are waiting
to help you complete these tasks if you are having problems –
simply send out an email and let us know. I am looking forward
to seeing many of my fellow Cooties at the Midterm in December.
If you are a Cootie, and are planning on being at the Midterm,
please make an effort to attend the Grand Social that the
Cooties of PT 11 have put together. It has a family oriented
theme, so you don’t have to worry about feeling embarrassed. It
is also time to start thinking about what positions you might
want to consider running for next year – this is a good time to
meet with the incumbent of that position and ask for their
insight as to the amount of work required.
Now
for a reminder – the Rim of Fire is published every other month, so
the next issue will come out in January 2009. All Grand Officers
should be providing a short article to Cootie Jim Malott who is the
Rim of Fire Editor. Feel free to submit Cootie related pictures
with your article – if we can’t get it in the Rim of Fire, it will
be passed on to the Around the Pacific. Cooties, let’s get out
there and lead the way again by recruiting those members for our
home Posts. We all know that we are the heart and soul of our
Posts, and I know that our Department Commander Larry Lyons greatly
appreciates the effort that our Cooties make every year.
Let’s work together this year – let’s communicate, - and let’s
remember that Veterans are Our Priority
Yours in L.O.T.C.S,
Kenneth P. Swierzewski |
