Reminders:

This will be my last issue and to many it will mean less mail to delete but I believe these provide valuable info and of the 400 I send to 30% agree, but time will tell.

  1. Your 2018-2019 officer forms need to be sent to Trenton and the county. The address for the county is BCAL, 130 W. Pleasant Ave, Suite 319, Maywood, NJ 07607 (if you have a new officer on the form you needs to send their DD214 as well. But only to the county. The address for Trenton is The American Legion, 171 Jersey St., Bldg #5, 2nd Floor, Trenton,NJ 08611.
  2. You should have received an invite to the convention for the winners receiving plaques that day, please reach out to them and make sure they got their invite and are present to receive their award.
  3. Don't forget to bring any and all 50/50's sold to the convention.
  4. Don't forget if you haven't donated yet to help fund baseball please do so, as your support is needed. Per national team registration is over 2,000 and up from 2017 which is a good sign for the program. 2018 Team registration is Up over 2017.
  5. The carpenters will be making 30 or so new TV stands on May 5th and Squad 170 will be delivering those either Tuesday or Wednesday. This project has been well received at the home by both the staff and residents. I believe they have all the stands they need and have now requested we help provide additional TV's. So if you can please donate to the fund so we can make that happen. Our PDC Frank Calandrillo has the info and will be sending out more info.
