News Letter
December 2012
Comrades;
THANK YOU VETERANS: November was a great month for honoring our Veterans from the National Tribute to our State Rotunda, Counties, Cities, Town Parades and local High Schools. All these activities, services and meals were centered on our Brothers and Sisters in Arms. We thank all of you who have served this great Nation and participated visiting these events.
During all these Veterans events we still did our Utah County Membership Revitalization Program. We are still working those lists. Many of you have been called or we visited your home. We are asking those of you who are not transferred to Provo to please do so before December 1st. If you pay your dues directly to our Post you only pay $30.00 per year. If you send in your payments to Department you are paying $35.00 per year. By belonging to our local Provo Post 13, a portion of your dues stays here locally rather than to State and National. These dues keep you current on local Activities, Events, Benefits and you help our local Post and community Americanism Programs. Please contact us at the number below and we will come and pick up your membership and do the transfer. We can even transfer you over the phone. So Please call 801-224-7477.
WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST MEMBERS We are honored and welcome our newest Recruits, Transfers and Re-newals. Many members expressed that they cannot participate in any activity, leadership and positions in our local Posts. We do understand that. If it is difficult to attend monthly meetings ….we understand because many of us were in the same arena you are now raising our children, working, involvement in Church assignments and dealing with health issues. To you we give tribute, we say THANK YOU for your membership. You are the Life and Blood of our organization to continue our local, District, Department, and National programs. With out “YOU” we could not go forward with the programs we now expect from our local to national departments. Your membership drives our total organization. Your membership in our community helps extend the support to our Departments’ Nationals’ over all goals and Programs that are centered on our youth and the future of our nation. The huge contribution and sacrifice you give in membership is greatly appreciated.
