Greetings to all!
Winter is here before the 21st this year! I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Let’s remember the Veterans that have passed this past year and pray for all that are ill.
A little note on membership. Please try to follow these procedures. Remember when renewing your annual membership, the State raised the minimum dues by $2.50 two years ago to make the total membership $27.50. Your Post can add to that amount.
HAVE YOUR MEMBERS PAY DUES OWED TO YOUR RESPECTIVE POSTS (NOT the NATIONAL
Department), TO AVOID OVER OR UNDER PAYMENT TO NATIONAL AND THE STATE. YOUR POST THEN SHOULD SEND THE DUES THAT ARE COLLECTED TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT AS YOU RECEIVE THEM. (YOU CAN WAIT TO SEND MULTIPLE TO AVOID HIGH POSTAGE).
Make the checks out to: AMVETS Department of WI. Mail them to: AMVETS Department of WI, PO Box 324, Egg Harbor, WI 54209-9564
