Good afternoon Commander' and all ships at sea. I have attached the most recent National numbers. Congrats to you all once again. Last week we sat at #37. As you can see we are now #36. One month ago we were #40. Thanks to all of you that are out there working the post and membership. You will also notice that we are just 0.02% out of 35th place, at 85.36% of goal. Let us set our goal for April to be over 95% of goal. With 2 months left we are less then 15% short, We can achieve the goal of 53.008. As I have stated, it's convention season. Set some time a side and make some phone calls and work renewals. Have your post consider doing a recruitment event in their communities. Get out side of the box and help your post to achieve their post goal. Looking at the Department numbers a lot of posts are way behind where they should be. If nothing else call the posts that are behind and ask what needs to be done. Is membership sitting on the adjutant's desk? Lets get that in.
Now for our Division Commanders. What are you doing to help those District Commanders? Maybe when attending District Conventions, see what you can do to push membership Tell them what worked for you as a district Commander and point them in the right direction.
As always I'm here to help where ever I can. I close with a big thank you. The Department of Texas is moving forward lets keep up the good work.
