A Special Message from Commander Eric Spinner

Since my election to my second term as Commander of our Post, I am humbled by the confidence you have placed in my ability to lead us into the next year. During my sicteen years as a Legionnaire, my involvement has been at many levels. Having first joined Elmont Post 1033, I held most officer positions, and have held most of the same positions with the Legion Riders. I've served with Nassau Legion as Education & Scholarship Chair and as Chaplain for most of the last thirteen years, and as Post 144 Chaplain for my first three years. I volunteer regularly to assist with other functions and committees as well, and I bring my experience to Post 144 where I hope to not only restore full activity, but also to increase our membership. To this end I enlist your help. Membership increase is absolutely necessary if our organization is to thrive. Carry membership information with you, and talk up our Post whenever possible. A simple card with a link and QR code is all you need.

I look forward to working with my staff who bring many years of expertise to our Post, and offer special thanks to our new Immediate Past Commander, James Randle, whom I will consult with on a regular basis. James continues as Post Historian and as a Trustee.

Moving ahead will require the efforts of many members of our Post to be coordinated and unified. I welcome input and suggestions from all, and hope that we will see growth and prosperity for our Post.

Commander Eric Spinner
