SPECIAL SQUADRON Meeting / BOARD MEETING,
The members present at the December 10th, 2023, meeting voted unanimously to place our Squadron on “Inactive Status” until we are able to get healed up and gain a few more participating members. I informed our District 32 Commander of our decision as per the USPS By-laws that same evening via email. I have recently heard back from her acknowledging our decision.
It was also decided that we would get together on an informal basis so we can keep in touch and enjoy the social benefits of being a member.
Our first informal meeting will be a coffee/lunch meeting on Sunday afternoon January 14 @1400 at the Fisherman’s Grotto in Charleston. Hope to see you there! Remember we’re a team….that’s
Together Everyone Accomplishes More!!! “TEAM”!
