 Change is Coming – By Law Proposals
The Commander would like to say Thank You to the By-Law Committee Members for their time, it was time well spent. The By-Law Committee has clarified and amended the Post By-Laws. These clarifications and proposed amendments are posted on the bulletin board in the Canteen and our line officers have copies for examinations. These will be voted on at our General Meeting, May 11, 2007.

All American / All State Update
There are only two things between us and All State!
We are 1st Statewide in programs and getting requirements to Department and looking great for All State.

Thank You goes out to everyone involved in making us the Best in Texas and the Best in the Nation.
