IMPORTANT NEWS AND INFORMATION

Morning Team Texas. I have attached the Detachment Convention Call and Newsletter. There are 4 separate attachments due to the size. I have also included the registration form and the delegate sheet. Remember, all checks are made out The American Legion, Department of Texas. Registration forms and delegate sheets are to be mailed to my personal home, not to Department Headquarters. If anyone, or a Squadron, District or Division wishes to submit a resolution, I need a copy in my hands no later than June 10. The amount of votes each Squadron receives will be calculated by the membership report dated June 10, 2026. No exceptions! If anyone sees any issue or mistakes with the minutes, please bring them to my attention as soon as possible. If anyone responds to this email, please do not respond to the group email, only to my personal email. Thank you.

I have yet to receive any awards nominations for this year. Please fill put the form below for any of the following awards for a member of your squadron that meets the criteria. The deadline is may 31st. If we dont have these in by then the award will not be given out in September, which will make for a poor awards banquet.

Thank you.
