COMMANDERS Corner:
It has been my privilege and honor to serve as your Post
Commander this past year.
With only 5% of our membership actively participating on the
Executive Board, much has been accomplished. I want to thank
each member of the Executive Board for making my job easy.
Sam Podietz, the new Commander designate, brings much to this
position. He will have my full support.
Sincerely,
Milt Lowe, Commander
FROM THE JWVA POST 126 PRESIDENT:
Ladies of the Auxiliary,
The recent collection of "coupons" has been sent out to the
Aviano Air Base Commissary in Italy. We are still collecting
them, but they must be CUT OUT and have a 3 month window from
the CURRENT expiration date. The commissaries are extremely
interested in BABY PRODUCTS, DIAPERS, HEALTH AND BEAUTY AIDS AND
CEREALS. Grocery items are also needed.
The CAMDEN COUNTY WOMENS CENTER is interested in receiving our
BEARS. I will be bringing them to the meeting and your help is
needed to TAG them. PLEASE bring more BEARS so we can make a
significant presentation. TOILETRIES are still needed as well.
We will either give them to the WOMENS CENTER or to JEWISH
FAMILY AND CHILDREN'S SERVICES.
CHANGING OF THE GUARD:
The current Post Adjutant will be retiring at the end of his
term in June. It has been my pleasure to serve the Post as
Junior Vice Commander for four years and as Adjutant for the
last two. Life moves on. I still expect to be available on an ad
hoc basis to assist the Executive Board with the Post’s many
activities.
I encourage ALL members to volunteer for at least two events in
the next year. Even as we age, there are still many ways to
serve our fellow Jewish Vets. Serve on the Phone Squad. Attend
meetings or call an officer for transportation. Give two hours
or more to our Poppy Drives to raise money for Veterans in need.
Come on out to the Stand Down in September to escort a homeless
Vet. If you have any degree of mobility or can at least use the
telephone or email, you can help. YOUR HELP IS NEEDED. Let’s all
do whatever we can to assist those in need.
WELCOME NEW MEMBER:
Daniel Avni
Scott Barrett – Murray, KY
