For The American Legion: casual/comfortable clothing is acceptable...District and Department officers are expected to dress up.
We are especially pleased and fortunate to be having a presentation about Camp Resilience by The Patriot Resilient Leadership Institute. This presentation, which will be given to the full attendance, explains Camp Resilience. Camp Resilience "provides sustained, comprehensive programs to help wounded veterans recover their physical, mental and emotional well being."
This program, for wounded, disabled veterans should interest all of us.
"Camp Resilience, using the scenic beauty of the Lakes Region of New Hampshire as its backdrop and home base, provides sports, adventure activities and life skills for its participants. This program is targeted towards individuals with serious injuries or conditions to include limb amputation, traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress."
After the break and separation for the meetings, The American Legion agenda will include:
> Recruiting discussion by Department Vice Commander Emil Ouellette
>Examples and discussion of good and bad recruiting letters.
>Discussion of recruiting phone calls.
>Discussion of how to get more members to the meetings.
