Commander Richard DePontee
The National Home Trip is rapidly approaching. We still have not met the minimum number of people riding the bus, so the good news is, it looks like you'll have plenty of stretching room. The downside is that we need at least 15 more people or more donations to make the bus a go.
If you haven't been to the National Home before, this is a great opportunity to go and see the progress on the Pollett/Missouri house 2 that is currently being built, as well as help us with the Halloween party for the children.
If you want to dress up, the theme this year is Hotel Transilvania.
The Department President and I look forward to seeing you on the bus.
