FROM THE HOME COMMITTEE

The Home Committee has been busy this month, planning the events that you enjoy at The Home. September had many fun events with our quarterly golf tournament and Hawaiian Luau in which we thank all our volunteers and coordinators for putting on a great time for all!

October is going to be just as fun with Karaoke every Friday and Saturday, pool tournaments on the weekends and a special Halloween Party on 27 October.

Come out and help with the monthly field day on 13 October at 0900 and after we are finished, stay for the Home Committee Meeting at 1200. We encourage all members to attend and take part in the operation of The Home and give us new ideas to improve.

Beginning 5 October, a table will be set up in the foyer of The Home to check membership cards. We are in need of volunteers to check cards for an hour or two. If you are interested in volunteering, leave your name in the pass down log with the evening date you will volunteer. This will be on Friday and Saturday nights only. Also, according to South Carolina State Code of Regulations, Bona fide guests shall be limited to those who accompany a member onto the premises or for whom the member has made prior arrangements with the management of the organization. This means members who invite non-member quests must make arrangements with the guest to meet them at the Home and sign them in.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Home,

Laurie Bailey, Home Committee Director and newsletter guest writer

BRANCH PRESIDENT’S CORNER

What’s the Fleet Reserve Association all about? Well, part of what we’re about is providing support to our members, who may be in ill health. Remembering our departed Shipmates. Supporting veteran activities and promoting patriotism within our community. Supporting the youth of our community and publicizing our good deeds! Branch 269 does an excellent job in all of these endeavours! As a matter of fact, Branch 269 placed first in Group I, FRA Southeast Region in: Americanism & Patriotism; Hospital, Welfare & Rehabilitation; Youth Activities; and Public Relations! Congratulations, Shipmates! Your number ONE! It was a clean sweep! We’ll also receive the top recruiting award for Group I at the National Convention. Branch 269 achieved the 100% Membership & Retention Award!

We’ve achieved all of this with less than half of our members being actively involved. You want to make a difference in your community? Get involved with Branch 269 of the FRA! We’re making a difference, every day.

Oh by the way! Recruit! Recruit! Recruit! We’re over one thousand in membership, now. Let’s hit twelve hundred by the end of the year! Retired, active duty, reserve or veterans! JUST ASK THEM!

Hope to see you at this month’s meeting, Thursday the 18^th of October!

In Loyalty, Protection & Service

Chuck
