As the Legion Convention is on Jun 7, 2011, we must hold our elections at least 10 days before the Convention. So our Post elections will be held on May 8, 2012. Holding office at the Post is not just about filling the position which you are elected for, it’s about volunteering your time and energy to support/help with all of the functions/events held at the Post. Here are the “DUTIES OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEEMEN (HOUSE COMMITTEE). The House Committee shall be comprised of the five (5) Executive Committeemen. The Chairman of the House Committee shall be elected by it’s five members. The House Committee is responsible to the Executive Committee for maintaining qualified personnel in the positions of Post Janitorial, Maintenance, and Yard/Grounds work. They are further charged with hiring a qualified Lounge Manager, who must be a Post member in good standing. They also oversee the post Kitchen operations. They will ensure all personnel carry out their assigned duties in accordance with Post policy/directives, job descriptions and local health guidelines. They shall also provide assistance to the Lounge Manager on an as needed basis. They will report all recommended changes and/or discrepancies (except emergencies) to the Executive Committee before a final approval is made.” If you think you can make a difference at Post 240, then run for one of the five House Committeemen. Attendance at the meetings are falling off, please try to attend General Meetings to see what your Post is doing in support of the Veterans. Come support the Member Appreciation Day/American Legion Birthday/St. Patty’s Day in the Lounge on Sunday March 18 at 1:00PM. Please support the Ladies of Unit 240.
