9th District Commander’s June 2025 report

Now that my second term as your district commander is coming to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our entire 9th District for a smooth and successful second term. It has been an honor serving all of you! I want to personally thank 9th District President Donna Rae Jacobson and SAL Commander Dennis Henkemeyer for their hard work and dedication during this term.

Excellent Job, and thank you for your support. A special thank you to our district vice commander at-large, Tim Haugen, for his above-and-beyond expectations organizing our successful membership program and our district newsletter. Thank you, Tim!

In addition, I would like to congratulate all of our posts who have reached or exceeded 100 percent membership. Thank you all!

All right, post commanders, post adjutants and post membership directors, now that your post elections have concluded, we must ensure that all your post forms (PORs & CPRs) have been filled out properly and sent to the department for updating ASAP.

These forms are mandatory, so let’s have a 100 percent districtwide success rate getting these forms in on time. If you need assistance, please contact Tim Haugen.

Remember, we still have a few posts that haven’t reached membership goals, so please continue to reach out to your current members to get their dues in before the 2025 Department Convention July 10-12.

Please continue to be mindful of our members who are homebound or in assisted-living facilities and remember our buddy checks. Our comrades deserve our attention.

“Those who can, do. Those who can do more, Volunteer” — Unknown.

Respectfully yours in service.
