The installation of the state officers is usually the last weekend in June so Post 3063 (and district) officers take over July 1.

Oath — Incoming officers take their oath during the installation ceremony May 4.

District 2 election and installation of officers was held at Post 3063 in May. The new officers were installed by Linda Fairbank, our state junior vice commander who will be serving as senior vice commander next year.
