Happy Independence Day!
I hope each and every one of you plan to participate in a 4th
of July parade and/or service.
Please remember to thank our Marines and other service members
for all they do or have done to preserve our country’s freedoms.
During this past month, I attended two site
visits for potential 2021 National Conventions on behalf of our
convention chairman, JPNP Karen Aune.
Both were within easy driving distance from my home (St. Louis,
MO and Springfield, IL), and both would be able to accommodate all of
our needs should they win the bid.
There will be two additional site visits before a decision is
made by the League members present at the National Convention in
Billings.

In the June newsletter you were able to see the received proposed
Bylaws changes for discussion by the body in Billings, Montana. If
your submission did not make it to National Headquarters in time for
this year, don’t fret, there is always next year. If you missed the
newsletter, please go to the list of Newsletters on our website to
find them.
Unit Presidents, it is your responsibility to take the proposed changes
to your Unit members for discussion at your meetings. Your Unit
delegates that will be representing your Unit at the National
Convention are to vote the decisions of the Unit. Unit Members, this
is your opportunity to voice your own opinion. Consider the proposed
changes to decide if you agree or disagree with the proposed changes
and keep in mind that you can always ask your officers for further
clarification. Your opinion is valuable.
At the National Convention, the Bylaws Committee will state to the
membership if the proposed change is correct as presented, without
personal bias. The vote to accept or reject the proposed change comes
directly from the membership in attendance, usually after a
discussion. This is a good motivation to pay your delegate fees and
send a representative to the Convention with your Unit vote.

There will be new items available at the Convention, watch for a new
order form and catalog on the website!
I will also send it out to the units in July!
Remember the store will be closed from July 15 through August
23 for convention activities.
