Once again the Post turned out to staff the usual four locations for our “Buddy Poppy” distribution for Memorial Day, in remembrance of our fallen comrades. 

Over $ 15,000 was raised to recharge our relief fund. Many thanks to all who participated, which was nearly all of our active membership, turning out in less than ideal weather to ensure that the Post will be able to continue to fund all of the causes we support. The crew at the Speedway QFC led the way, but all locations produced well.  Special recognition goes out to our comrades who staffed the two doors at QFC West Lynnwood, who were out in the weather all day both days.

Another Successful Poppy Drive!
Staffing one of two doors at the Speedway QFC are, l to R, Linda Blossey, Bryan Rowe, Past Commander Jim Blossey and Jay Hansen.

A reminder: nominations for Post officers for the 2020 VFW year will be held at the March meeting. Again, elective offices are Commander, Jr. and Sr. Vice Commander, Quartermaster, Chaplain and Trustees. Our nominating committee has prepared a slate of candidates for your consideration, but nominations will also be taken from the floor. Please do not nominate anyone without their permission. Elections will take place at the April Post meeting. 

Looking ahead, we will begin sign ups for Memorial Day Poppy distribution this month, to take place on Friday and Saturday, May 24 & 25 at our four usual locations. We need all hands participating to maximize results. Please consider working multiple shifts.
