COMMANDER'S CHAT
CORNER
March 2012
Commander's Chat Corner
We hosted the District 5 meeting here in Pattaya for the first
Quarter of 2012. The social was well attended and everybody seemed
to like the meatballs. We did not come up with a name for them, but
they were obviously not Swedish. They tasted pretty good so they
must have been Danish. Minutes of the meeting are posted on the
District 5 website if you are interested in who was nominated for
office or would like to find out about the latest activities of our
member posts.
On March 7th we held our Post's 31st anniversary party. Over 50
people attended. It seemed almost everyone had a good time even
though we had meatballs again. The cook was trying to improve on the
recipe. We hid some in the spaghetti sauce, so those were obviously
Italian. The others remain anonymous.
Thanks to Roger Knorr and his wife for their food donations and
thanks to Dave Anderson for his donation of a bottle of liquor for
the raffle. The post made 2,000 baht off the 50/50 raffle. Thanks to
everyone that contributed to the party and we hope they had a good
time.
We hosted the monthly meetings of the American Veteran's Wife's
Club, and continue to offer our support to them. We thank them for
their contributions to our annual Post Anniversary ceremony and
buffet.
Post membership continues to grow and we continue to add new people
to our list of comrades.
