Post 14 March Update 3.3.26

All,

We had success last month with several events. Congratulations to the three winners of the Post14 Oratory Contest. The first-place contestant will be moving on to compete at the Department. We had a great turnout from the Post. Thank you, Randy Kemp, for leading this effort and to the members who volunteered their time.

Thank you to Post Member Mellisa Turney for motivating Jeff Cade and I and keeping Post 14 involved in this event. It was a beautiful day to jump in the not so frozen pond. See pictures at our website bozemanmtlegion.org. Thank you, Rick Gale.

Post 14 Veterans Service Phone Line 406-548-4972

In an effort to be responsive to the needs of our membership, we have decided to get a dedicated phone number for members to use if they are in need some assistance or information from the Post. The Bar phone number will remain the same. Anyone who calls the Bar requesting assistance or Post 14 information will be given this new service phone number. Post 14 Trustee Gray Gullickson has volunteered to man the phone line 24/7 and refer all calls for assistance to the proper organizations and report each month on the calls received. Thank you, Gary, for taking on this important task.
