Each January 1st begins a new Dues Donation Year. All who can are urged to make your Dues Donation during the 1st Quarter of the year. We generally consider those who pay at, or by, the reunion to be on time. New members, of course, may donate at the time they are found or when they decide to become a contributing meniber. Your yearly participation in contributing to the continuation and success of our association is very important! Make it a regular habit to contribute early in the year (so you don't forget) and so that we may better serve you. The future holds several possibilities if we position ourselves to be able to participate and enjoy them. We'd like to offer a huge THANK YOU! to those who contribute each and every year and on a timely basis. You are the breath and life of our association! Many of you contribute in excess of the suggested donation. THANKS!! Even with a growing Membership Roster, the number of Dues Donators has leveled off or even sIumped over the past couple of years. Some who once contributed ceased to or became part time donators. What can/should we do for you? If you forgot to contribute last year (or before), now would be an excellent opportunity to do so.
**OGS ESCORTS NEEDED!!!!**
DQS VETS NEEDED NOW!! We have the Gold Star Mothers and have access to the funds needed, but we do not have DQS Vets to escort the ladies on the Operation Gold Star Trip for this year! It is too late for a Spring trip, but the Summer and/or early Fall opportunities still exist. Let us hear from you! This is your chance. Don't let these ladies down! Participate! You'll be glad that you did!
Contact: Ed Allen DusterEd@juno.com or (812)-845-2303. Do it today! It's never too early to start the planning. Got questions? - Ask them! It may be easier than you think.
Talk to the DQS Vets who have served as escorts on previous trips. They'll tell you how rewarding it is and about being able to visit your old AO's. Find out what it is about and what you may be missing out on. Again, do it today!
DQS Vets & number of OGS Trips participated in: Ed Allen(2), George Nagelschmidt(l), Jim Smith(2), John Huelsenbeck(l), Bruce Geiger(2), Bob Lauver(l), Greg Dearborn(l), Clyde Larsen(l), Dale Peters(l) and Sam Hopkins(l).
**Note: Several of the Gold Star Mothers have expressed interest in attending our reunion in Bransom. It will be good to be able to spend more time with them! There is still time to order your copy (or additional copies) of the DQS Book. Orders will be accepted for the original printing until at least June 1, 2005. Get yours!
DUES! OGS TRIP! BOOK! REUNION! COME ON - B-A-B-E!
