Brothers, Sisters, and Comrades,
As we embark on a new year, this is a time for new beginnings, fresh opportunities, and goals to be set for the year ahead. Let's approach the coming year with optimism, determination, and a spirit of growth. It's always good to go back to basics. Whether in our work for veterans, relationships, or personal development, revisiting the fundamental principles often leads to clarity, simplicity, and a renewed sense of purpose. Returning to basics can help us re-evaluate our priorities, refine our strategies, and rediscover what truly matters: helping veterans and their families! A few housekeeping items: June 30th was the last day to turn in your Inspection reports, and as soon as the last few auxiliaries turn in their reports to me, we can finish our Roster Book for the year. On July 4th, all members are welcome to ride with us to the Coronado 4th of July parade. Email me to RSVP and get lineup information. The first School of Instruction (SOI) will be held on July 13th, and the second will follow closely after July 27th. Check your emails often for updates, times, and locations. Here's to a beautiful new year filled with joy, success, and fulfillment!
