Renewals have picked up, membership currently stands at 1270

your 2019 dues and you received a second or third notice, just throw it away.
If you have paid your dues and not received your 2019 Membership Card, please call or drop me a note. Every now and then a check gets processed but the membership slip does not get pulled and mailed out.
Post 3 Scholarship. If you have a student or grandchild who will be graduating this spring, Post 3 has funds for three $500.00 Scholarships. Also, students in college can also apply. It is time to submit an application, guidelines and application are available at the Post 3 offices.

From the Adjutant
I want to thanks those who came out to help with our District 15 Oratorical Contest. From Post 3, Fred Craigie, Wade Graft, Gerry Wolf, David Timmerman; from Department, H.P., and the Judges, Sue Hodge, York, NE; Gary Heusel and Myles Dymacek, Lincoln, NE. On a sad note, we again did not have any students take advantage of the chance to earn up to $18,000.00 dollars in Scholarships, depending on how far they advanced.
The second round of renewals notices have been mailed out by National HQ. If you received one and know you have paid your 2019 dues, just throw it away. Due to lag time, the National Legion HQ membership slips may not have reached them in time for them to credit your payment before a renewal notice was generated for you.
CPR {Consolidated Post Report}
Post 3 cannot complete the CPR if you do not let us know what you are doing for the community. We are looking number of hours that you may be volunteering, monetary support, etc., to your community or fellow veteran. Those outside of Lincoln can submit their hour and funds spent supporting their local veteran community. Would like increase the number of categories that we support.
Blue team 6 (Honor Guard) does a good job of submitting
their activities need our members to submit theirs.
Blood donations, keep track of your visits and let us know.
There is some 20 plus areas where we could list activities that we never mark, as we do not know that members are doing them.
Thanks for your service and thanks for your support of Post 3.
Ed Schnabel,
Adjutant
