Commander William Brothers February Bulletin

Greetings Legionnaires,

We had a great Mid-Winter Conference; it was nice seeing everyone that attended. The Banquet was great and the entertainment was as well, Thank you to the Legends band. I hope you all enjoyed it.

Membership is going well but we still have a little way to go. Keep up the great work you all are doing and thank you.

I want to thank Melodie for the outstanding job putting everything together for conference. We need to work on filling the open positions in the districts, anyone interested in County or District positions please let me know and we can get some training set up for everyone to help with those positions. Speaking of training I have heard through HQ’s that Commander, Adjutant, Mylegion and Post Service Officers training are up and coming, we will keep you posted.

Hope everyone is staying warm these cold days and night and let’s not forget to do our Buddy Checks and see if everyone is OK and if anyone needs help in any way.The Penguin Plunge date has been changed due to cold temperatures and unfortunately, I will be out of State, as I was to participate with SAL Detachment Commander Marc Colety, he will have to hold the reins on this one! It should be fun and still cold in March, it’s all for a good cause. Moving forward if anyone has an event coming up let me know so I can help get the word out. Let’s see how the Super Bowl goes this year, and I hope it's a fairly close game. Be safe if you travel during this and good luck to both teams.
We will be getting to “Spring” ahead soon. Time sure is flying!

Trainings and communication will be key, attaining new membership and retaining the current. If you have ideas, don’t be afraid to let me know of them. Oratorical Contest in the month of March, District competitions are taking place now.

In closing, stay safe and warm.

For God and Country,

William “Bill” Brothers
