Hello Brothers and Sisters,

Wow my year as your Department President got here faster than I thought it would. I am excited to be your President. Department Convention was fast and furious. Good fun, good information and a lot of important business. We did have an outstanding number of First Timers at this Convention. We did pass three (3) Resolutions during a business session. These are sent to National Auxiliary Headquarters and once signed we will distribute the information to everyone.

 

I would like to introduce you to the 2024-2025 Department of Oregon Line Officers. They all have been elected and installed. It was awesome to see Candidates running for the same position. They were all excellent candidates.
