United We Stand!!

June began on a busy note with Alaska Boys State, June 5-11, 2010, and then I returned home pack up to move my desk to Anchorage. I look forward to seeing the many friends I have made over the years but only got to see them at once a year conventions. I still will always have ties with Southeast, especially Post 25 where I started my Legion career.

I was at Department in mid June and we had only received half of the required Consolidated Post Reports from the posts. These reports provide valuable information to National so we can show our presence in our communities. Membership cards are also in house, but if a post has not sent in a signed Certification of Officers showing who are the Post Officers for the next year, they will not get them. Membership renewals for 2011 begin on July 1 with 50% target in early September.

My visitations to the American Legion Posts of Alaska begin in July and go through January 2011. I am looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones. See you on the road!

For the year, this is my virtual office and I will have an open door for any thoughts, comments or suggestions. You can contact me at 907 723 8028 or BJacobi680@aol.com. If you contact me by e-mail, be sure to put a subject line so I know it is not spam or junk mail.

Have a prosperous Legion year.
