VFW Department of Pacific Areas Page 1 Volume XVIII – Number 6 TYPHOON / AROUND THE PACIFIC January 2015 DDeeppaarrttmmeenntt OOffffiicceerr’’ss CCoommmmeennttss From the Commander: Hello Comrades, We had an excellent Mid-Term Department Council of Administration meeting. Many very positive actions resulted. First, it was determined that the “Around the Pacific” publication, which showcases photographically, many of the activities you are accomplishing in support of Veterans, local communities, our military and much more, would be published monthly as a second part to our monthly Publication of the “Typhoon.” As you know, the “Typhoon” is designed to update you on the latest policies, inform you of the various statistics showing where you are at and reporting your accomplishments. Our Department stands high among the other Departments and States within VFW. For this, I wish to thank you all for the hard work and dedication you have put in to helping to improve our VFW, thus helping the causes of our Veterans, families and communities. Your dedication to these causes is truly appreciated by so very many. In this regard, we are doing well in membership and recruiting, however, we have slowed and are starting to drag behind a little. It is most important that we re-energize our recruiting efforts and meet the goal of exceeding our previous 100% membership goal set by National. Most Districts are doing well; however, not all are there yet. I can’t emphasize enough how important our larger membership is when working to help our Veterans, families, widows and orphans. Remember, our clout in Congress, which enables us to make positive movement via the Government towards improving VA and other services to Veterans, is exceedingly contingent upon our membership ranks and numbers. Recruiting – absolutely a key to better assisting our Vets. I will be attending the Legislative Affairs Conference in Washington, D.C. soon, as we (VFW) meet with the Congressional Joint Committee on Veteran’s Affairs on March 4th. Our Commander in Chief John Stroud will testify on behalf of our Veterans. We will be “Fighting for our Vets!” ““FFiigghhtt ffoorr oouurr VVeettss!!”” Warmest Regards, Bear --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VFW Department of Pacific Areas Page 2 Volume XVIII – Number 6 TYPHOON / AROUND THE PACIFIC January 2015 From the Senior Vice Commander: Comrades, First of all I would like to send a belated Happy New Year to all the Comrades of the Pacific. I hope all enjoyed their Holiday Season and now it is time to ensure the Department of the Pacific will enjoy the New Year by reaching the 100% membership goal. At the midterm C of A the DPA was ranked #3 Nationally as well as being only 1 of 3 to reach to reach the 90% goal in membership prior to December 1st. Thanks to all the Comrades who recruited and put the PACIFIC on the map for success. The second half of the year has started and I am disappointed to report that our membership percentage ranking Nationally has decreased from #3 to #7. The National leader is currently Europe at 95.01% and our current percentage is 92.07% as of January 5th 2015. We have also gone from # 2 to # 3 in the Western Conference Standings. Comrades we are also behind last year’s total recruited Comrades within the DPA as well as some Districts and Post’s membership percentages have decreased from last year’s percentages. Comrades we need to focus on recruiting and put the Department of Pacific BACK on TOP and STAY on TOP where we belong. I have posted the current DPA membership statistics from National as of Jan 5th 2015 and the percentages speak for themselves. Also congratulation’s to Post’s and District’s who have reached or exceeded 100% ahead of schedule. I would like to also extend a job well done to the current top 4 recruiters: David Wykes Post 9612 (38), Cliff Wilsey Post 2485 (35), Gasper Delise Post 9985 (30), Larry Lyons Post 10216 (19), Daniel McMillan Post 10216 (15). There are 73 Comrades who have also recruited members as of January 5th whom I would also like to extend special thanks to all recruiting Comrades and please keep up drive and initiative toward membership your time and effort will benefit your Post, District, and Department. I would like challenge each and every Comrade of the Pacific try to accomplish the 2014-2015 VFW National Commander-in-Chief John Stroud three basic goals: 1) Every Comrade recruit or reinstate one new member. 2) Share your VFW story. 3) Get involved. Comrades please ask yourself what have I done about the three R’s in the past month? Did you R-cruit new members? Did you reach out and R-einstate members? Did remind annual members to pay their dues and R-etain continuous members? Thanks for all your support and lets have a great year Fighting for Our VETS! Once again thanks to all the Comrades of the Pacific Areas for your support this year as the SVC as well as the Membership Chairmen. The numbers and percentages are growing daily on members and it is visible that there has been a lot of time and effort put into your recruiting. Please take the time and effort and ask the simple question to all that you meet are you a VFW member and always carry your applications! Yours in Comradeship and Service, Homer Kemper Senior Vice Commander Department of Pacific Areas See MEMSTATS and Recruiting Tips on the following pages.

  • **************************************************** the Letters of Charles Dickens. Edited by His Sister
    **************************************************** THE LETTERS OF CHARLES DICKENS. EDITED BY HIS SISTER-IN-LAW AND HIS ELDEST DAUGHTER. **************************************************** VOL. I. 1833 TO 1856. SECOND EDITION.—FIFTH THOUSAND. LONDON: CHAPMAN AND HALL, 193, PICCADILLY. 1880. TO KATE PERUGINI, THIS MEMORIAL OF HER FATHER IS LOVINGLY INSCRIBED BY HER AUNT AND SISTER. PREFACE WE intend this Collection of Letters to be a Supplement to the "Life of Charles Dickens," by John Forster. That work, perfect and exhaustive as a biography, is only in- complete as regards correspondence; the scheme of the book having made it impossible to include in its space any letters, or hardly any, besides those addressed to Mr. Forster. As no man ever expressed himself more in his letters than Charles Dickens, we believe that in publishing this careful selection from his general correspondence we shall be supplying a want which has been universally felt. Our request for the loan of letters was so promptly and fully responded to, that we have been provided with more than sufficient material for our work. By arranging the letters in chronological order, we find that they very frequently explain themselves and form a narrative of the events of each year. Our collection dates from 1833, the commencement of Charles Dickens's literary life, just before the starting of the “Pickwick Papers," and is carried on up to the day before his death, in 1870. We find some difficulty in being quite accurate in the arrangements of letters up to the end of 1839, for he had a careless habit in those days about dating his letters, very frequently putting only the day of the week on which he wrote, curiously in contrast with the habit of his later life, when his dates were always of the very fullest.

  • JEAN WEBSTER DADDY-LONG-LEGS to YOU Blue
    JEAN WEBSTER DADDY-LONG-LEGS TO YOU Blue Wednesday The first Wednesday in every month was a Perfectly Awful Day--a day to be awaited with dread, endured with courage and forgotten with haste. Every floor must be spotless, every chair dustless, and every bed without a wrinkle. Ninety-seven squirming little orphans must be scrubbed and combed and buttoned into freshly starched ginghams; and all ninety-seven reminded of their manners, and told to say, `Yes, sir,' `No, sir,' whenever a Trustee spoke. It was a distressing time; and poor Jerusha Abbott, being the oldest orphan, had to bear the brunt of it. But this particular first Wednesday, like its predecessors, finally dragged itself to a close. Jerusha escaped from the pantry where she had been making sandwiches for the asylum's guests, and turned upstairs to accomplish her regular work. Her special care was room F, where eleven little tots, from four to seven, occupied eleven little cots set in a row. Jerusha assembled her charges, straightened their rumpled frocks, wiped their noses, and started them in an orderly and willing line towards the dining-room to engage themselves for a blessed half hour with bread and milk and prune pudding. Then she dropped down on the window seat and leaned throbbing temples against the cool glass. She had been on her feet since five that morning, doing everybody's bidding, scolded and hurried by a nervous matron. Mrs. Lippett, behind the scenes, did not always maintain that calm and pompous dignity with which she faced an audience of Trustees and lady visitors.
