Department Convention—Yakima
District 1 had a great representation at the Department Convention and Post 8870’s Commander, Jim Blossey, represented our Post. Unlike our Post elections, Department positions are sought after and there were several elections which were hotly contested. We received a number of awards and they will be added to our Virtual Award Wall on the Post’s website. The downside of the convention, there is 2 days worth of material and 3 days scheduled to cover it.
