Old Business:
Jeremy Foster advised that on Monday 6 Oct 2014, there
was a meeting with The Southern Maryland District (SMD) along with Nikita Reed
to obtain approval for Post 381 to go forward with the acquisition of property
of Wilmer’s Park. There was confusion on SMD’s position
as they were assuming the meeting was for the purpose of Post 381 presenting to
SMD was to sign off on the lease of the property in which Post 381 has not
obtained. According to the SMD, Post 381
did not need to go through them for approval, as far as they were concerned,
but once we have the lease agreement in hand, they would be ready to sign. According to Nikita, the major point of the
meeting was not simply for their approval of the lease, but for SMD to show
their support of the Post and of the American Legion as whole before going to
Park and Planning. Right now the Grounds Committee is in the process of setting
dates to meet with Park and Planning within the next two weeks so that they can
be caught up to speed. According to Nikita, Park and Planning is receptive to
the idea of the Post obtaining the property and eager to hear the ideas the
Post has in store for Wilmer’s Park. First Vice Henry Turner added that once
all is said and done, all hands are needed by the Post to restore and manicure
the grounds. Once the lease is in the Post’s possession it will be presented to
the District, then to the State, and from the State to National.
Commander Fisher advised that the Post will be receiving
another shipment of coins as the manufacturer has dropped the price to $3 per
coin and urges everyone to advertise the sell of the Post’s Commander’s Coin.
Cmdr Fisher further advised that with the date of acquiring Wilmer’s Park
looming closer and closer, the Post should begin sending out letters of
appreciation to the businesses and politicians who supported Post 381 in the
endeavor of acquiring property.
New Business:
Commander Fisher submitted a design of the Post 381
License plate with the Post’s logo and Eagle on the metallic plate. MSP

First Vice Commander Turner further advised that the Post
would like to sell the license plates which costs $5 to make and suggests that
the plates should sell for $15. MSP Unanimously
Commander Fisher has received message from Pam
Neal-Robinson requesting help out with yard work at her home while she tends to
her ailing Father. Cmdr Fisher has requested members to help out a fellow
legionnaire in need.
Adjourn: MSP to adjourn.
