9th District Commander’s March-April 2025 Report

By Steve NaSalle

Hello, Roaring 9th District American Legion Family!

Welcome to March 2025, which comes with spring right around the corner. Time for post committee updates and preparing for elections.

With that in mind, let’s all stay ahead of our membership goals, which seem to be going well in the Roaring 9th, so keep up the great work.

In addition, this is a good time for planning future events, and fundraising opportunities.  Remember, teamwork is still your best key to moving forward into the future, and success. In addition, please take this opportunity to review and update your post constitution and bylaws.  Generally, nonprofits review and update bylaws every five years. Some bylaws require a different timespan. Remember, times are changing, and we need to stay ahead of these changes.

Dates to remember:

  • The 9th District Convention is June 7, beginning at 9 a.m. at East Grand Forks Post 157.
  • The 9th District Executive Board meeting is June 6, beginning at 7 p.m. at Post 157. I look forward to seeing you all there.
  • Department Appreciation Rally is at Chanhassen Post 580 on March 8. (Before this issue arrived in mailboxes.)

Let’s continue to be mindful of our members who are homebound or in assisted living facilities and remember our buddy checks.

Respectfully in service.
