Hello all.

With the government shutdown, there will be a lot of Veterans and their families that will need help with bills and food. This is what the Relief fund is for. There will be many service personnel that will not be getting a paycheck during the shutdown unless they decide to pay them. The way you can get the money to help is with Buddy Poppy distributions. Get out and set up tables to help our troops and their families. With the National Guard being sent to various cities to help with different things, they are not getting a paycheck either. Relief Fund to the rescue.

I have not gotten very many reports yet. Do not forget that you had Poppy distribution after the first of April for Memorial Day and Fourth of July.

Please report that you sent in that you sent your Health and Happiness donation to the National Home and the amount that was sent.

Hope to see many of you at Western Conference.
