Dear Oregon Auxiliary Family,                                                                        

Here’s to a new year brothers and sisters. I hope to see as many of you that can make it to our Mid-Winter gathering at Seaside.

I plan to have as many Red Clips as possible for you to support on Red Fridays and any event or day. There will be an announcement of a new challenge as well with code name Columbia.

 My Americanism challenge to you all is to take the time, even just once a week or month, to observe the condition of our flag flown by a community member/business.  Notice how they fly it, its condition, and graciously give feedback. If it needs improvement, such as maintenance or replacement, please offer to help them.  Ideally have a flag education pamphlet and Certificate of Appreciation. Certificates can be found on Malta under Americanism, as well as flag education if your post does not have a pamphlet. Please let me know about it in a report or reach out to a fellow member to help you with such. I look forward to reading about it.
