This year’s 2024 membership card, Be the One, reminds us that the Number 1 issue facing the veteran community is suicide. It is estimated that between 17 and 22 veterans or servicemembers take their lives each day. That’s more than 6,000 annually. The rate of suicide for veterans is more than 50% higher than that of non-veteran adults.    

At its core, The American Legion is activating a national platform to reduce the rate of veteran suicide. The Be the One campaign will destigmatize asking for mental health support, creating opportunity for those with mental health issues to speak freely and get the support they need. How can you help? While this program is designed to help all veterans, we know that everyone responds differently to stresses, have different life experiences, and have varying results in types of treatment. However, the following are guidelines intended to provide help before a crisis situation develops. The American Legion encourages you to Be the One to talk with others about how you are feeling, ask for help when you know you need it, know there are millions of people ready to help you and remember your family and friends’ care.

The 2025 memberships are being processed as fast as I can. For some of you, there will be a surprise inside your envelope .You can renew ONLINE by going to  www.legion.org/renew  and click “Renew Now” to safely and conveniently pay your  dues. There is also a new 3-year option (for 2025-2026-2027) @ $50 per year ($150). Please note that you won't get one card that has all three years on it. You are just pre-paying and will get the card as that year is released to the Post from National.

NOTE: As in years past, I will send out various notices to let members know that their 2024 membership card expires 1 January 2005. In October, I start be sending emails to those who have one listed. In November, I send phone texts or place actual calls and leave messages if possible. In December, I send out pre-printed letter to those that haven't responded or I haven't been able to reach by email or phone. In January, there is a 30-day grace period to renew for 2025.  In February, I send Membership Cancel Forms to National for those that haven't renewed since 2023. Also in February, if those members haven't renewed for 2025 yet, their membership ha to be approved by each subsequent membership meeting before they can participate in Queen of Hearts or Texas Hold 'Em.

 

Participants/members must have some form of proof of a 2024 (or 2025) membership card BEFORE you chose a numbered card on our Queen of Hearts Raffle board. As it states on the Rules for the Queen of Hearts Raffle, "It is the players responsibility to comply with the rules of the Queen of Hearts Raffle.
 
Note: For those who have digital pictures of their membership cards on their phones? These membership cards must be signed by a Legion officer and the member as well. As it says underneath the signature block on your membership card, "NOT valid unless coutersigned by the member."
 
NOTE: Members whose membership cards have expired can not be signed in as guests. 
 
  • Next Monday, it's @ $7,600+ on  10/28/24 since we had a winner a/o 7/29/24. Don't forget: there is an extra envelope added to the 54 envelopes with cards in them. This extra envelope will give the lucky person who selects it $500 - not bad, huh?

DID YOU KNOW? If you buy the winning Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot ticket at Post 62, as an incentive, the Post gets a certain percentage as a reward for selling that ticket. For example, the latest Powerball of over $1.75 billion that someone won in CA? The store that sold that ticket got $1 million - something to think about!
