Greetings Brothers and Sisters,

The start of a new year is always filled with promise, and I’m thrilled to step into another chapter with you as Chief of Staff! Together, I believe we can make this year truly remarkable—full of camaraderie, growth, and shared successes.

Mark your calendars! We have not one, but three engaging Training Academies lined up this year. These are fantastic opportunities to connect, learn, and inspire one another:

Ø  July 19th, 9 AM – 3 PM: Post #4108 Art Horsell Deschutes, 491 SW Veteran Way, Redmond

Ø  August 23rd, 9 AM – 3 PM: Post #1324 Three Rivers, 2nd and Tumwater, Oregon City (Lunch available for $10)

Ø  September 6th, 9 AM – 3 PM: Post #9745 Amos R Osborne, 570 SW Douglas, Winston

But that’s not all—this year, I’ll continue hosting monthly virtual training sessions on a range of interesting topics. These online gatherings are designed to empower every member, sparking new ideas and building the knowledge we need to transform Red Flag Auxiliaries into thriving Green Flag Auxiliaries. The more we invest in training, the stronger we become—together!

Your voice matters. What topics do you want to explore in our virtual trainings? Drop me an email with your suggestions and help us make these sessions both useful and inspiring!

Here’s to a year of learning, connecting, and lifting each other up. I can’t wait to see all that we’ll accomplish—let’s make it the best year yet!
