4 Star Excellence
2013

Greetings everyone.
It is that time of year to elect chapter officers. According to the bylaws, I am ineligible to run for Chapter President due to a 3-year limit. So, we need someone to step up and volunteer to fill the President position.
Additionally, Bob Little would like to move on from being the Vice President in charge of programs.
To keep this chapter going, we need volunteers – and not just the same few who have filled the officer and committee positions for the past two decades. If you have never served in one of our chapter leadership positions, or if you have but it has been a long time, please consider volunteering for a position and spent just a couple hours a month to ensure that the chapter has good meetings for us all to enjoy.
There are a lot of events coming up in the area around Veterans Day. I hope that you can attend some or all of them. Here is a list of some of the events:
November 5 (Sunday): Flower Mound Veterans Day Ceremony at the Flower Mound High School Stadium. Picnic from 1-2pm, Ceremony at 2pm.
November 7 (Tuesday): Election Day. In addition to national elections, there are also 14 proposed propositions (amendments to the Texas Constitution) to consider
