Once again the Cooties in the Grand of Wisconsin have shown why we are the best of the best. We've done an outstanding job in hospital work and reporting. I knew that we had a great group of Cooties in Wisconsin, but I didn't know just how good they were.by Grand of WI
As we near the end of the Supreme Cootie year, for the first time in several years we have reversed the trend of declining membership. I view this as a healthy sign that there is still some fight in most of us old war-dogs, and more importantly that there are still VFW Comrades who are interested in being members of the “Honor Degree of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.” With the same diligence in future years we can make this a permanent pattern of membership growth that will bring us to a new, vital, and ever more productive era in the history of the Grand of Wisconsin. WE DID IT!!! I want to thank all of my fellow Cooties who worked so hard to reach that goal. Cooties that wouldn’t back down in the face of adversity. Cooties that knew what had to be done and did it. Adequate words do not exist to convey how extremely proud I am. JOB WELL DONE AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
Yours in L.O.T.C.S.,
Chris N Kanios Sr

Starting with the May General Orders, each set including other information of interest shall be posted to our Cootie web page. It is my intention to publish one set each month and mail, email, and then post them to this web page for each of the following twelve months. If membership is the lifeblood of our organization, then communication is the heart that pumps that blood.by Grand of WI
Green Bay Pup Tent 23 "SHORT ARM" will meet on Monday night April 28, 2008 as previously scheduled. Since the Duck Creek VFW Post is now available on Thursday evenings, Pup Tent 23 has voted to return to its previous monthly meeting schedule beginning on Thursday May 8, 2008 at 7:00 pm.

Greetings once again fellow Cooties. The Pup Tent Application Form and accompanying Letter of Invitation are now available on the Cootie web page. The idea is to make a list of worthy VFW Comrades you know and send them the invitation letter, the application form, and the information on your Pup Tent. Follow up on the invitation letter. That is, let them know when and where your next scratch is and invite them to attend. Keep the VFW Post Commander in the information loop. Explain the application process to him or her, and answer any questions about the application procedure. If they are not a Cootie invite them to join as well.Pup Tent Membership Application
You have the tools, now go out and get those new members.
Don't forget to contact your delinquent members and get them reinstated. The best way is to meet with them face-to-face if they are willing. Let's make this a strong and active Grand of Wisconsin.
Yours in L.O.T.C.S.,

Cooties - Good News!by Grand of WI
We are drawing ever closer to our goal of 100% membership for the year but we only have a short while to achieve it. I implore my fellow Cooties to get “Busy as a Bee” and help us “Increase and Multiply” for the good of the Grand of Wisconsin. Let’s make this the first year in some time that we make 100% in our Grand Membership Program. From there we can add to our success by achieving 100% + each year thereafter. As you can see, we have a few more Pup Tents that are at 100% or better and a few are only one to a few members shy of the mark. We are only 48 members short. That is 2.4 members per Pup Tent. WE CAN DO IT!!! Though it does not show here, Pup Tent 22 has one new member and the CCDB who has had a bad accident at work and broke an ankle and fractured a wrist is now working on the continuous members report. CCDBs who have not sent in their reports to Grand Quartermaster Gerald A. Anger, please do so now! Thanks to everyone who has helped recruit new Cooties.
Yours in L.O.T.C.S.,
