Oorah, This newsletter article that I am writing this time is on the same schedule but I now have a different title.  The leaders have changed positions or took a break from their leadership duties.  They put in their time and heart for the Washington County Marines Corps League 1138.  That's correct, we had our election.  Some of our regular and associate members wanted to take on a new trail in leadership positions.  It was very nice to be part of yearly changes and experience the procedure of officer changes, promises for commitment to take on a new year, and the senior members to sit back and watch the detachment bloom as the year ticks on. As for me, it was just another step in following a leader who I followed since I started my first days being a member here.  I want to say again, THANK YOU! Doug Dunham for being a good leader and teacher. I will do my best to keep this year's events and traditions going as they have been for many years. Looking forward to the other officers and members taking on new positions and responsibilities and showing what they have or what they can add.  We can’t do it alone --- it will also be the strength of the rest of our members to stand with each other and march together in unity. I have heard a lot of ideas and thoughts from the members. Well, let's do it! Semper Fi, Joey D
