William Brothers Dept. Commander 2025 - 2026

Commander William Brothers March Bulletin Greetings Legionnaires, I hope everyone is doing well. Great job on membership we are doing fine but still have work to do and let’s not forget to do our duty on buddy checks and see if anyone needs our assistance or needs help with getting to appointments. As we are winding down from Winter, finally, and getting ready for Spring and new challenges let’s not forget our mission to help our communities and to remind them we are here and what we do for them. Also, start planning your ways to assist us in trying to recruit new membership, their families are welcome also. As I travel to Posts and see how everyone is doing, I want to say thank you for what you all are accomplishing within your Posts, and I have seen a lot of great ideas you are using to recruit and retain membership. Now as we get ready to welcome the Leading Candidate, John “Jay” Bowen from Colorado to our State lets show him how we do it in Vermont. His schedule of events is included in this bulletin. Try to visit one of his stops in Vermont and say hello. Sr. Vice Fred Wilson is heading this event. We are also preparing for our upcoming DEC Meeting next month in April, we have some great things to cover and talk about. Good luck to all the Oratorical Candidates, thank you Karlene for your hard work with this program, I am sure the Leading Candidate John will enjoy the competition. In closing I want to say to the membership of Vermont, thank you all for what you do. Congratulations to Detachment National Vice Commander Jeremy Revell, he has had an exceptional year and although I cannot attend his testimonial, I hope he has a grand time. I also would like to say thank you to our National Vice Commander Eastern Division - Ron LaRose. Dates have been made for his Testimonial and will be forthcoming. Ron, I appreciate all that you do. Thank you to our Alt NEC Mark Cloutier and our NEC Joseph Zickmund on a great job, they also make Vermont look good. I am traveling the month of March, but will return soon, National Commander Dan Wiley's homecoming and much needed visits with family. Spring is in the Air! For God and Country, William “Bill” Brothers Commander, Dept. of VT
