We have hired Jacqueline Stradford to take on the position of Administrative Professional and allow Paula to finally retire. Thank you Paula. Please welcome Jacqueline and help her feel like part of the AMVETS Family. She comes to us from a background in administrative duties for the VA, Church Groups, and so much more. She will be in place for the Midwinter Conference for those of you wanting to meet her. Please take it easy on her as far contacting her at the office, as she is still in training with Paula and preparing for the Conference, which I can assure you, is a lot to tackle in your first weeks on the job. Welcome to the Family, Jacqueline!

To all squadron Commander’s and 2^nd Vice Commander’s

It is very important that your squadrons fill out your project reports. The federal government goes off of this to help fund the VA’s in our state, you can do this on line or if you want you can still send in a paper report form. I will process it for you.

It is VERY IMPORTANT to do this, please do not hesitate to call me or email me, I can walk you through the process of doing  it online it is very easy to do. Project reporting is also necessary  to maintain your non-profit status and to remain a quality squadron.

Yours in Service
