2nd Division Commander's Message
February 1, 2010
I have attended the Oratorical Contests at the Post and District levels in our Division. They went very well and the students were outstanding at all levels. The winner of the 2nd Division is Salimah Jasani from Monsignor Kelly High School in Port Arthur. She was sponsored by Post 817 in Beaumont. The Department Competition is on Monday February 15, 2010 in Kerrville, Texas. The hotel is the Best Western Sunday House at 2124 Sidney Baker, Kerrville, Texas. The phone number is 830-896-1313. There will be a dinner at Post 208 on Sunday evening. The contest will begin at 0900 the site to be announced. Please check the Department website.
I attended the Department Mid-Winter Conference. It was a busy three and a half days. There were many interesting meetings and workshops. I recommend that you try to attend next year. It is a very rewarding conference.
The 2nd Division Convention will be April 30, 2010 to May 2, 2010. It will be at the Crown Plaza Houston Northwest Hotel located at 12801 Northwest Freeway, Houston, TX 77040. Reservations - 713-462-9977. They have a website you may visit at www.cphoustontx.com. We have gotten a great rate on the rooms for $79.00 a night. They have been recently redecorated and are very nice.

Membership is so important to our organization. However, we are not doing very well. Currently our Division is in 3rd Place out of four. So please, ask your Legion friends to pay their 2010 dues. If you know someone that is a veteran, ask them to join. We really need the numbers. It will only take a little effort to get us back on top.
Please send me your District activities so that I can put them on the calendar.
For God And Country,
Lynn E. Sparks
2nd Division Commander
