COMMANDERS NOTES

Comrades,
Comrades, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and are going for a wonderful 2012. We had some very good parties for December and are now ready for our New Year. We are having our mid winter conference, it is set for January 20th and January 21st, 2012.
We have a lot of members that need to get back into the VFW and we are taking new members also. We need all the members we can get, so please sign up.
We will be having a Lutefisk and Meatball Dinner on the 13 of January from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. and it promises to be a very good dinner. We have a lot of good things planned for Jan and February.
I hope to see everyone at the January meeting on January 12, 2012. And as ever, the best to everyone, and we would like to thank all of you who are so very active with the VFW. Our hearts go out to you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I hope you all a blessed and happy holiday season. Now is the time to settle in for a long cold winter. We continue to have alot of activities going on at the club. We hope to see many of you there.
Thank you to all of those who took the time in the busy holiday season to donate your hours to club activities. Also to those who donated food or items. The children's party was a huge success. The Auxiliary Christmas Tea is a fun social event. Thank you. I am always open to new ideas, if you have an idea or a pet project, please talk to me about it, it just might be something we can work on through the Auxiliary.
Life members, if you have not paid your cancer insurance, please pay it now. The way I look at it.... I cant afford not to. One never knows who or when that disease will strike.
We will be needing to raise the yearly dues. Have you considered going life membership? Lil is the membership chairman. Please talk to her.
District meeting is on Saturday, Feb., 12 at 8:00 am in Duluth. It would be so great to have a good showing from Cloquet. The meetings are for everyone, not just the officers.

Motto: Striving together to work for the benefit of our Veterans.

Quartermasters Report

Seasons Greetings to all.
January is the halfway mark of the Officers Terms. The Officers have worked hard to provide members with a fine post. The building is in good shape, with a new back entry, and with many more activities than ever before. Thanks much guys!
Membership is low. And I do encourage every member to ask a friend to join the VFW. Have you asked anyone to join in the last 30 days? Lets get the new member.

Respectfully,
Marc A Raihala
