JULY
Happy summertime Brothers and Sisters!
Happy Independence Day as well.
It’s me, Terri Steller, your Department Jr.
Vice. Besides the VFW Auxiliary and you all, I love summertime. I know it is
hot outside but think about how great summer is.
Summertime is when we have our Department
Convention. Did you attend Convention this year at Seven Feathers? It was a
great convention. Besides getting to see my brothers and Sisters that attended,
we welcomed two new officers to the Department line. Welcome our new Conductor,
Traci Bogard and our new Guard, Kathy McCauley.
Coming up in July we have our first Training
Academy on July 13 in Richland at the Eagle Valley Grange. I am excited to see
you all there. July also means that it is National Convention time. This year
National Convention is being held in Louisville, Kentucky. It will be extra
special this year as Oregon will be in the Circle of Excellence. It will be
such a thrill to show the rest of the Nation all your hard work and how awesome
Oregon is.
Then we come to August. Do you know why I love
August so much? Training Academies!!! That’s right, we have two Training
Academies this August. The first is on August 17th in Sweet Home at
the VFW Post. On August 24th the Training Academy will be held in
Winston at the VFW Post there. I hope that I get to see you at one of the
Academies, it is always a lot of fun and learn something new every year.
So, that is why I love summer so much. I get to
see all of you, have fun and learn new things.
What is your favorite thing about summer? What
would you like to learn at the Academies? Let me know. Send me a text, letter
or an email. I would love to hear from you.
