GENERAL ORDERS # 6

November: 2009
TO BE READ, ACTED UPON, AND FILED

Listen Cooties;

My term of office as Grand Commander is now half over - time flies when you’re having fun - but there is still time to get work done. If you have not taken care of hospital, membership, special project, VFW Booster, and inspection reports, you still have some time remaining to get everything done and reported. Remember that in order to get credit f or work completed, a report MUST be sent to the respective Chairman. You cannot get credit for participating in a program if we don’t know what you have done.

Audits for the months of July, August, and September are now overdue. The Pup Tent retains one copy and two (2) copies are to be sent to the Grand Quartermaster, Ed Wood.

Roster Change:
Grand Membership Chairman: George Kohler

Commanders Travel:
October 30 - November 1 I will be attending Dept. of PA State Commander, Frank Mills’ testimonial in Gettysburg, PA.
November 6 - 8, I will be attending Tomb Trek in Arlington, VA.
December 11 - 13 I will be attending VFW National Home’s Christmas Party in Grand Rapids, MI.

The next Grand Council of Administration meeting will be held at the Sheraton Four Points in Chambersburg, PA on Sunday, December 6 at 9 AM. As Scotland School for Veterans Children has been closed, the VFW is not holding their annual Christmas party for the students. So there is nothing planned for Saturday, December 5.

The room rate includes a complimentary hot and cold breakfast. Deadline for reservations is November 27.

Wednesday, November 11 is Veteran’s Day - Remember, all Cooties are Veterans. So, proudly fly your American flag. If you can, call or visit a hospitalized or homebound Veteran.
