Commander's Corner

       A Message from Post Commander, Bill Wilkinson

"American Legion Post 10, this is Bill, may I help you?"

Greetings everyone and welcome to May!

Last issue I talked about the conundrum here at the Post.  Have you given any thoughts to that yet? Want more activities and more, more more, but because of the lack of active participation and volunteers, it just cannot happen.

What is a “Volunteer”?  According to Wikipedia: Volunteering is an elective and free-choice act of an individual or group freely giving time and labor, often for community service.   More from Wikipedia:  Volunteering is the selfless act of dedicating one's time, skills, and energy to support a cause or organization without any financial gain. It involves individuals or groups freely giving their time and labor, often for community service, and can include various activities such as helping at events or working with charities.

Post 10 and the entire Post 10 Family are all volunteers.  They cook your breakfast, lunch and dinners.  Play BINGO?  Yep - Volunteers running that too.  Ever wonder who is sitting it the office when you come in to pay your dues, ask a question or buy a flag?  Yep - Volunteers.

Come help break this conundrum - be a Volunteer!

Last month was elections.  Same officers as before, but there are still positions that need filling. Finance Officer, 2nd Vice Commander, Sargent at Arms, Honor Guard Commander and Honor Guard members.

You want more from your Post?  Become an active participant and Volunteer!  You can make a difference!

Respectfully,

Bill Wilkinson.
