Posted at 12:15 PM on Saturday, November 7, 2009 by Mike Borg, District QM

OUR DISTRICT HAS BEEN ASK BY DEPARTMENT'S CHIEF OF STAFF AND THE STATE COMMANDER TO CONDUCT A DUES ROUND-UP. WE HAVE ARRANGED FOR THREE POSTS OF OUR DISTRICT TO BE HOST SITES. THEY ARE PULASKI VFW POST 9719, APPLETON VFW POST 2778 AND ASHWAUBENON VFW POST 10244. MANY THANKS GOES TO THESE POSTS FOR HOSTING THIS DUES ROUND-UP ACTIVITIES.

OUR DUES ROUND-UP REPRESENTATIVE WILL BE WALLY HOGAN, PAST NATIONAL COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF WHO WILL BE VISITING THESE SITES (SEE SCHEDULE BELOW) TO DISCUSS MEMBERSHIP. WALLY WILL BE HANDING OUT TO THE POSTS THEIR UNPAID CONTINUOUS MEMBERS LIST AND I HAVE ASKED WALLY TO HAND OUT THE OLD MIP'S LIST AS WELL FOR OUR AREA. DISCUSSION WILL FOCUS ON MEMBERSHIP, BUT OTHER PERTINENT DEPARTMENT BUSINESS ISSUES CAN BE ADDRESSED AS WELL.

FOR THOSE POST'S THAT HAVEN'T ATTENDED A STATE OR NATIONAL CONVENTIONS RECENTLY - HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO ASK QUESTIONS OF OUR PAST NATIONAL COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF WALLY HOGAN. WALLY WILL ALSO BE FOCUSING ON WHAT POSTS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED DURING THE RECENT MONTHS. THIS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO ENRICH YOUR POST'S RECRUITING EFFORTS AND TALK DIRECTLY TO DEPARTMENT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

PLEASE, TAKE THE TIME TO CONTACT ALL YOUR MEMBERS THAT HAVEN'T PAID THEIR MEMBERSHIP DUES YET. STOP BY THEIR HOMES AND ASSIST THEM IN FORWARD THOSE UN-PAIDS DUES. PRESENT THEM TO OUR ROUND-UP DUES REPRESENTATIVE WALLY HOGAN DURING YOUR ATTENDANCE. SHOW THAT YOUR POST'S IS SUPPORTER OF THE VFW MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM AT DEPARTMENT.
