Greetings Comrades,
I remember reading an email/social media post not long ago about how to ruin a post. It was a lengthy but accurate list of things members do that hurt the post. Rather than focus on the things we shouldn’t do I’d just like to ask each of you to contribute in one or several of the following ways.
- Attend the Post meetings and participate.
- Actively support the work done by your volunteer officers and members.
- Volunteer for a committee or work party/event.
- Recruit new members.
- Help make the post more family friendly.
- Encourage younger members to take leadership roles.
- Show support for the many things your post does and if you have a problem or concern bring it to the attention of one of your post officers in an appropriate setting. One of the most important leadership rules the Marine Corps taught me was to "praise in public and criticize in private.”
The Post relies on your support to for its success. Your Post did not create itself and running a Post takes involvement from all members. You are the ones who benefit from the VFW. By serving each other through the VFW, we can help keep it the great organization that it is and leave a legacy for tomorrow’s veterans.
Please stop by for a visit. See you at the post.
Semper Fi,
Josh David
