February 2017 Meeting Reminder

The next Seattle Base meeting is this coming Wednesday, February 15, 2017. We will meet at VFW Post #2995 (4330 148th Ave N.E., Redmond WA 98052). Social hour starts at 6PM with business meeting at 7PM.

We are currently in the process of making plans for Seattle Base’s 2017 activities. If you have an idea or suggestion for a social event, activity, or program, now is your chance to bring it up!

The 2017 National USSVI Awards Nomination Process started at the beginning of February. Please take a moment to look over the awards and consider nominating a shipmate or a Base for an award for all the good things this shipmate or Base did during 2016.

Let’s acknowledge and reward our shipmates for a job well done by nominating them an Award. Please review the manual and follow the directions. All members in good standing are eligible to make nominations for the various awards starting 1 February and ending April 30 (except for the newsletter award). Be sure to check out the National USSVI 2017 Awards Manual on the national website (link to manual) and submit your nominations.

All officers are asked to be 45 minutes early to have a quick meeting before the monthly meeting begins. The officers will discuss the how, what, and when of items and events for the base (tolling, parade, picnic, what have you).

The 2017 USSVI Calendars are available for $10. Be sure to pick up your copy at the meeting.

We hope to see you at the meeting!
