The Post Officers should carefully study and fully understand the principles of the organization since it is their duty to enforce its laws, rules, and rituals.

 

There should be 100% attendance for all posts in the state which means there should be at least one person attending from each post in the state. If the Post Commander cannot attend, the Sr. Vice Commander should attend, if the Sr. Vice Commander cannot attend, the Jr. Vice Commander should attend. If you are unable to attend the School in your area, maybe you can attend the School in another area. This is a must training and I am requesting you make every effort to attend.

The importance of everyone attending is immediately apparent by being present your questions can be answered at once. It is also a chance for you to meet the State Officers that have been elected or appointed for the term of 2021-2022. Your presence will help show me that the State of Pennsylvania wants to continue its leadership role in the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

This training is necessary for all Post Officers by attending you will obtain valuable data that will help the Veterans of Foreign Wars to become a much-improved organization. After this meeting you will be able to function with confidence in your ability to perform your required duties.

You are aware that the leaders get the credit for whatever is right and the blame for whatever is wrong.   Please attend  this School of Instruction so you will always get the credit. When the School is completed, you will have a framework for a successful year and awareness that you are a key member of Commander Smith's

"Honor- Courage -Commitment" Team.
