Hello Legionaries, In April we had our installation of officers for the 2016–2017 year. There where no changes to the slate of officers except that Michael Hartt was sworn into the Children & Youth Officer position where he will continue to work on some of our core programs. I thank all of the officers of the post for serving for another year and for those members who came to watch the installation and enjoy a meal afterwards. I’d also like to thank the District 5 officers who came to swear us in. I cannot forgot to thank those individuals who brought food and drinks to share. I think we all enjoyed the food and camaraderie after the installation. Before the installation of officers started, I had the pleasure of awarding our two Oratorical contest winners from the District and sponsored by our post. I awarded Annora Brown of Concord a $50 dollar check for her participation in the Junior Oratorical Contest. Next I awarded Hana Testerman of Chichester a check for $100 for her participation in the High School Oratorical where she had gone onto com- pete at the national level after having won the state competition back in March. At our May meeting we had 15 members present. The building committee provided us with an update on where the renovations stand. We voted to purchase and have installed a commercial vent hood over the stove and flat top griddle. We also voted to hire a contractor to create a parking lot with proper drainage. Also discussed was getting some bids on what a new roof will cost us and briefly discussed was type of flag pole we will have installed. We will be discussing the flag pole and outside signage at a later meeting. We also did a Memorial Day parade wrap-up to make sure every detail of the parade was being finalized. We have been busy in May with putting out new flags at the town cemeteries. This year we were assisted by Boys Scouts of Pack 247 as well as from the Loudon Girls Scouts Troop and the parents of these great kids. Members from the post who helped out with the flags were Dave Zarges, Mark Brogan, Larry Elliot, and Joe Piroso. Black Our May Commander’s Fund Raffle winners where: $50/S. Labonte, $25/H. Cmdr. Jones stands with Hana Testerman and her mother Martha after having presented Paradie, $10/J. Jones, $10/N. Greenmore, and $5/M. Moffett. Congratulations to Hana with a check for $100.00. our May winners. Our new raffle tickets are now available for the drawing in July. Tickets are $12 each and are good for the next year. Please contact myself or another member of the post to see if they have tickets to sell. Only 200 tickets are to be current D5 Adjutant. There were a total of six Legionaries who ran for Vice Com- sold so your chances of winning at least once are very good. The proceeds go to mander this year. Our post was awarded the Maurice L McQuillen Publicity Award. help our post to stay open and to donate money back to the community. We will be This is something I’m proud of and I couldn’t do it if it wasn’t for the Loudon asking members at the June meeting to take some with them to sell. For those of Ledger and Suncook Valley News for allowing me to run these articles every month. We also will be getting an award called the Royal T. Miller, Jr. Oratorical Contest Award since we sponsored this year’s state winner. There was an error on the original award presented at the convention that will be corrected and reissued to our post. These new awards, along with the one we received at last year’s convention for our Boy Scout Troop, will be hung on a wall at our new post. We hope to have a great turnout for the Memorial Day parade and I will include some photos of the parade in a later article. n

Chaplin Larry Hemphill offered a prayer and moment of silence to remember our fallen Comrade Allan Morin who passed away in April. We have lost four post members over the course of a year. On May 20th and 21st Larry Hemphill and I traveled up to Lincoln each day to attend the 98th Annual Department Convention. Guest speakers included Con- gressman Frank Guinta, Governor Maggie Hassan, and Senator Kelly Ayotte. We voted on the next Department of NH Budget for FY17 among other budgets and resolutions. Our next Department Commander will be Tom Wiley of Lebanon Post 22. Congratulations to Department Commander Willey on his win.
