We would be incredibly excited to have people come join us! We will be holding a meeting in April for endorsement of candidates for the local offices being decided in June. You must come to March’s meeting and join so you can be eligible to vote in April!
After their service to this nation, I can think of no better a calling than that of serving our veterans. We move forward, breaking new ground, to fill the remaining gaps unable to be filled by those other great organizations that are working everyday for us.
Come join us in March for my ‘State of the Club’ address, where I will lay out the plan and purpose of our existence and why we intend to work as long and hard as we will be in the coming year.
Enim Libertas!
