IMPORTANT NEWS AND INFORMATION

Just a short update for all the members from the Detachment of Texas, the Mid-Winter Conference Newsletter was composed and mailed out this weekend. You should be receiving your copy of the newsletter this week. I want to thank Lewis Elam, 1st Division Commander, for coming to Austin and helping with this endeavor. As I have said and asked many times, when you Chairmen give a report, I need a copy. There are 6 reports missing from the newsletter. Even if you have no report, send me something. The Detachment has a right to know what is going on. I will be back in Austin in about 3 weeks to check for any returned envelopes. We mailed out approx. 224 envelopes this past Saturday. Also, a thank you to our candidate for National Commander, 2026-2027, Thom Skelley, for his generous gift to our office. I will send out a picture later. Along with his driver for his Texas Trip this week, Jean "Max" Maxwell, they also hung up some pictures in the office. Those will be attached to another email. Thanks to the both of you!

Kevin Winkelmann Detachment Adjutant

The 2024-2025 CPR and CSR reports are now available for download and submission. One change is that they should now be sent to cprandcsrforms@legion.org instead of mssforms@legion.org.

CPR: https://www.legion.org/information-center/in-the-media/publications/organization-membership-awards

The CSR should be available now, and the CPR should be ready soon.
