Wolfie, I wish our Post would show a little spirit !

I joined a local Post, after being a member of the State Post for a few years.I'm a newbie in the Post, but am already considering dropping the whole thing.

The first five meetings in a row had to be cancelled-for lack of quorum. Plenty of guys to hang out in the bar, but-except for the Color Guard - which is fairly active - there aren't enough guys around to hold a meeting; which means the Post is being run entirely by its executive committee.

If I were into drinking a lot, I guess I'd feel comfortable with the situation.

Anybody out in Freep-land have any suggestions ??

We had the same problem with our Vietnow Chapter, the same people were always doing all the work.

What we did was the 10 of us who were doing everything, contacted AmVets and started our own Post. We managed to get people in our post who wanted to be active and it's a small post but it's an active one. We just are selective in our activities.

It worked for us.
