Quartermaster’s Report (July 2023)

By Harold (H2) Hamilton

Thank you for the opportunity to serve as Quartermaster. First, a huge shout out to H1, Harold Rodenberger. H1 has walked me through the process of what the Quartermaster does and means to their post. He has also shared much of the official and unofficial wisdom necessary to continue in the role. I thank H1.

H1 and the leadership team has set the tone for an ambitious shift in our posture. This is what we will continue. The post is currently on solid ground but there is much action afoot.

The post needs all its members to participate in continuing the make this post an outlet for Seattle area veterans and the larger community.

Let’s continue working together to make the post more vibrant and welcoming. We should see much in the way of  improvement thanks to the day of service a couple weeks back. Paint jobs, new lights, and even new folks.

Our Memorial Day buddy poppy distribution was a blast. The Fremont Festival was interesting… Let us continue as a post to get out and be seen in the community. This is a large part of how we will make the impact this post if capable of. The community can benefit from the skills and talents present within the post. If anyone has ways we can get into the community and offer some service, feel free to let myself or anyone else know.

Last meeting there was even discussion of a group to simply talk. I do not know where we will arrive but working together, we can achieve a great deal. It is possible and we can do it.
