Lois Lindsey Recording Secretary
Happy New
Year! I hope
this new
ones does
not go as fast
as the last one. Whew,
that went by quick! And
what a remarkable year
that was too, with great
leadership and guidance
from our Commander
Janice. Thanks Janice!!!
From what I hear, many
great things are already
planned for this year too.
Everyone has area's that
suit them for contributing
to the success of these
events. A comfort zone-so
to speak, where they feel
the most helpful and productive.
That's what
makes this Post and Unit
the best. So everyone,
keep up the good work.
Membership is so im-
Welcome Home Troops
@ Los Alamitos Joint
Forces Training Base—
Dec. 2011
portant to the growth of
the Auxiliary and it takes
lots of hard work to keep
those memberships paid
so that goal can be met. It
is of the upmost importance
to sustain what
we already have and then
to add to that when ever
the opportunity to get new
members arise. Everyone
pitches in, in every way
they can, but I do know
that Patty Gawlik works
extra hard in getting our
members paid up so we
can reach our goal. A lot
of the things she does are
done quietly behind the
scenes and not noticed by
many. But I can tell you it
is an outstanding job she
does in contacting and
getting in the members
dues. She writes notes to
some that don't live here
anymore and contacts
some by telephone too.
She deserves a BIG
HAND of applause for
ALL she does for our Unit
496. Great job Patty!
Many receive the emails
from our Editor Tammy
and look forward to getting
the quarterly newsletter
and the monthly information
about what is happening
at the Post that is
available for all to see.
This job takes an extra
effort to keep up on the
workings of the Post to let
everyone know what is
going on. She deserves a
SUPER BIG HAND of
applause for doing that
job and making it look so
easy. So, to our Editor,
Tammy Sollazzo -a SPE-
CIAL THANK YOU for a
job well done!
