NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 24, 2018 SABATTUS AMERICAN LEGION HOLDS ANNUAL INSTALLATION OF POST AND AUXILIARY UNIT OFFICERS FOR 2018-2019 SABATTUS,
ME - The installation began with the Pledge of Allegiance followed by the
recognition of the POW-MIA chair prominently displayed at the front of the
meeting room. The empty chair honors those who are not present by reason of
being missing since their time in war. The
first event of the day was the installation of the Legion Auxiliary Officers
for 2018-2019. The officers were
installed by Joan Caron. Each
officer was presented with a pin and sash that signifies the office of their
appointment. The
following officers were installed to the Harry J. Conway Post 135 Auxiliary: Denise
Michaud, President – The unit president is an able and qualified leader: she
represents the Auxiliary in her community, and its success or failure depends
largely upon her. She acts in a supervisory capacity, is familiar with the
duties of all officers and committee chairmen and encourages and inspires
them in their work. It is the responsibility of the President to see that all
offices are supplied with all available information and material from
Department and National Headquarters for efficient promotion of their various
activities. The Unit President has many duties. She presides at all meetings
of the Unit and the Unit Executive Committee; requires strict adherence to
the Constitution, Bylaws and rule and regulations established by the National
and Department Convention, National and Department Executive Committees and
the Unit itself; appoints members of standing committees and creates such
other committees as are necessary; appoints all non-elected officers, and
performs all duties which are assigned to her office. 1st
Vice President Jennifer Caron and 2nd Vice President Cheryl Shearer - The
Vice Presidents are given the responsibility, with the President, for
complete development of the Unit program. The Vice-Presidents are prepared to
preside at meetings in the absence of the President. Secretary/Treasurer
Teresa Bradford, The duties of the Unit Secretary are administrative, and she
occupies a pivotal position around which all the activities of the Unit
revolve; she is efficient and well-informed on all phases of the Unit,
Department and National activities and requirements and is capable of giving
authentic information on organization matters. As secretary she makes a
record of all business transacted at each meeting and of the executive board
and presents her minutes for approval at the next meeting. Her additional duties as unit treasurer are
to handle all Unit funds, collect dues from members and make remittances of
Department and National dues and special funds to Department Headquarters
monthly. An efficient Unit Treasurer
is essential to the smooth functioning of the Unit. Chaplain,
Debra Devoe - The duties of the Unit Chaplain are to pronounce the invocation
and the benediction at Auxiliary meetings as well as to perform such other
acts as would fall within the realm of her office as the spiritual leader of
the Unit. She conducts the memorial service when such is needed in her Unit.
As the Auxiliary is composed of women of different creeds and faith, she must
be a woman of tolerance and sympathy toward all. Sergeant
At Arms, Joan Fournier - the Sergeant-at-Arms is responsible for keeping
order at Unit meetings, for the advancement and retirement of the Unit colors
and their proper care, and for such other duties as may be assigned to her by
the Unit President. After
the installation of the Auxiliary Officers, Ron Caron was present to lead the
installation of Post Legion officers.
He is a member, and former Post Commander, of the Sabattus post. He is
also a Past Department Historian. He
was assisted in the installation by Kirk Thurston, Rumford Post 24 who acted
as his Installation Sergeant-at Arms and David Devoe, Post Chaplain, acted as
Installation Chaplain. The
Installing Officer gave the job description for each position, and explained
the importance of each of their contributions will make to the success of the
post. Each new officer was brought forward by the Sergeant-at Arms as Caron
read their off their responsibilities and congratulated them on the
appointment with a salute and firm handshake. The
2018-19 Sabattus Harry J Conway American Legion Post 135 officers are: Joseph
Michaud is the new Post Commander. As
such, he is responsible for the overall operation of the Post including
supervising the duties of all other Post officers and activities to ensure
that they meet the highest standards and fulfill the tenants of The American
Legion. Don
Caron is the newly appointed 1st Vice Commander. As such he is responsible
for membership. Joseph
Tetreault was re-appointed 2nd Vice Commander. He is responsible for
assisting the Post Commander with all duties and is key
with regard to patriotic observances, developing Post activities. James
Rancourt is the re-appointed Adjutant. He is responsible for the
administrative aspects of the Post and should be concerned with the overall
effectiveness of Post activities and reporting to Department the activities
and events of the post. Anthony
“Tony” Culpovitch, is returning as Finance Officer. He is responsible for
receiving, safeguarding and dispersing all the Post's funds. David
Devoe, was re-elected Chaplain. He is responsible for providing the spiritual
leadership for the Post membership. Harvey
Moses, was re-elected Sergeant-at-Arms and as such he is responsible for
introducing all visiting comrades and guests of the Post to make sure they
feel welcomed and that the colors are properly maintained and displayed. Gordon
Smith is returning as Post Historian. Gordon is responsible for compiling and
preserving the records of the Post. Amedeo
Lauria is returning as the Post Service Officer. Amedeo is a Past Department Service Officer
for the American Legion Department of Maine.
The Post Service officer is responsible for bringing to the attention
of all veterans and their dependents the rights and benefits granted them by
law. He knows how to utilize the expert services available through legion
channels, as well as those of other agencies in his community. His is the job
of getting information to the full-time professionals to make certain that
every veteran, survivor and their dependents are adequately represented. Dominic
Santomango was elected Americanism Officer; he puts
into effect the policies and programs of The American Legion dealing with
youth, flag protocol, patriotic events and other related activities. The
Americanism Officer reports on the results of these programs up to the
Department and National level. At
the conclusion of the installation the new Commander Joseph Michaud, was
reminded by the installing officer that he has the duty of seeing that no one
is turned away and is guided by the decisions of members. Caron then
presented him with the gavel of his office.
During
his speech, the incoming Commander talked about the accomplishments of the
post and the way ahead for the next year.
He envisions a wider array of post programs, increased membership and
to continue to make the post a great place from which to serve local veterans
and our community! If
