Recruiting new members is every member’s responsibility and to that end Post Chaplain Dan Doyle and Commander Mike Denton spent s very productive Saturday at the Edmonds Farmers Market, spreading the word about VFW to unaffilliated veterans and the community at large.
Our newest member, Paul Strenkert found us there and was subsequently sworn in at the July Post meeting.
There are three other applications pending from that outing, plus a Life Member, recently arrived in Edmonds, who also stopped by our table, and plans to affiliate with Post 8870.
We are making plans for additional such events and will be looking for volunteers to help with that effort.
