Comrades,
We've started this year off great so far! New members have been added on a regular basis, so keep up the good work! You are the Key to the success of the VFW!
My homecoming is on September 6th at 5pm at the Broadway Inn in Missoula. You can register here: https://www.zeffy.com/ticketing/district-1-meeting-and-homecoming
If you haven't heard, I am holding six golf tournaments throughout the state to raise money for the department. Every post is assigned to one of the tournaments and it would be great if you all got involved. We need hole sponsors (businesses to sponsor holes) and volunteers to work the event on the day of their tournament. Also associated with the tournaments are online auctions which are for your post to raise money. Every item your posts brings to auction the post will receive 60% of the money raised for each item. The other 40% will go to the department to help your post with membership. If your post has an auxiliary, I am offering the same deal to them. The more people we have gathering and the more items we have the more we all earn for our posts and the department.

Again, keep up the great work! I plan to stop by as many posts as I can this year, so I'll see you soon!
