From the desk of the Chapter President

MVC Members,

The time has come! I know many are planning to attend the FMCA Convention in Indianapolis, July 12-15. Please send an email to me if you plan to attend the MVC Meeting and participate in the “Social” after the Elks Chapter Meeting. A “head count” is needed. The “tentative” PLAN is for the MVC Meeting to be on the evening of the FMCA Governing Board Meeting, whereas the MVC National Director will be able to give us a report on the important issues voted on and National Officer election. The time and place of the MVC Meeting should be available in the near future.

The FMCA National Election as the Chapter election is conducted by the slate of candidates, plus nominations from the floor. At present, you have seen the candidates for FMCA office with their qualifications listed in the May issue of the FMC magazine. MVC member Rett Porter (F369084) is candidate for FMCA Senior VP as MVC member Jack Mayberry (F369343). For more information on both, I suggest you contact them directly: Rett, email: rett.porter@gmail.com, phone: 303-910-3900; and Jack, email: emayberry@comcast.net, phone: 520-250-7155. You have been informed of the issues on which the FMCA National Directors will be voting. If you have questions and or an opinion, please contact the MVC ND Bob Cerney, email: bobnfreda@jcsolutions.net; or phone: 530.518.0541. The MVC ND vote is per the membership’s desire.

The MVC will have officer elections at the Chapter Meeting. I have advocated members to active in the Chapter, that is, be candidates for office in the Chapter, volunteer to help out with events, i.e., Chapter Fairs, Color Guard presentations, rallies, etc. After being MVC President for two terms, 4 years, I will not be a candidate for MVC President. The MVC VP, Dell Jackson will be a Candidate for President. Candidates for the positions of Vice President and Secretary are needed. These positions will be filled. If you consider being a candidate for any Chapter Office, contact a member of the Nominating Committee: Chairman, Dell Jackson, F201821: dell1942j@gmail.com; members: Roy Holt, F356669 : roy4jackie@aol.com; and Gary Milner, F409834: arky55@yahoo.com. Or if would like additional information on any of these positions, you may contact me.

The MVC has some “neat” items for members at cost: A very attractive cap with the MVC logo embroidered for a $12 donation, available at Indianapolis. A top quality polo shirt, black 100% polyester with the MVC logo embroidered may be pre-ordered (must order by June 1^st) from MVC VP Dell Jackson, email: dell1942j@gmail.com; phone: 209-471-3905. Pre-ordered prices are $35 for large size; $37 for XL; $39 for XXL (prices include sales tax). The shirts will be available for pick up at Indianapolis. If you need them shipped, add $6 for S & H (package and postage in the USA). Members of the MVC should wear them at rallies to show their pride of being a veteran and member of the Chapter, especially when participating in branch of service / color guard ceremonies.

At the moment, there are a few slots left for the MVC/Elk/ Full Timers/ 3T’s Post Rally. We would love to have you, but please check with me for availability as registration will be shut off when the slots are filled.

Safe travels. See you at Indy,

John
