The next Seattle Base meeting is planned for Wednesday, January 15, 2020. 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 hope to elect officers for the next two years at the January meeting. We have several possibilities for the different officer positions and your attendance is desired to help determine the results.

There is the distinct possibility of snow on several days next week. As many of you know, conditions in the Puget Sound area make it hard to predict weather more than a few days out, so this forecast could be accurate or just another wild guess. That said, the predicted lows for next week are below freezing, which can make driving hazardous especially if combined with snow!
We’ll be keeping close tabs on the weather and, if necessary, look at rescheduling the meeting for the following week. We will keep your well-being in mind and if it looks too bad will send a notice of meeting cancellation 24 hours in advance.
One other note, we were contacted by the young man who runs the
Faces of Valor project, which is an oral history project dedicated to interviewing America’s last WWII and Korean War veterans.
He is looking for veterans who served during WWII or the Korean War who would be interested in being interviewed about their service. If this is something you would like to do, I'll share his contact information at the next Seattle Base meeting or you can
email me directly for the information.
You can read more about the project on the website and in
this article from the Spokane Spokesman-Review.
