COMMANDER'S CORNER

January 17, 2021

Greetings!

I hope this finds you and yours in good health. Although it will be a process, I also hope that this New Year provides opportunities for all of us to return to our previous lifestyles.

We are moving along with our programs, despite some hinderances we’ve encountered due to the social regulations we live in now prompted by the aggressiveness of the Corona Virus.

We have a series of virtual meetings coming up throughout the rest of the year which are being moved to a new platform. Officers have received instructions for logging onto it. More dates could be added,changed or canceled as the months progress; these will be disseminated by email. Additional information will be provided as these events get closer. I feel that adjustments and changes could be coming due to social conditions in regards to the Corona Virus.

I have listed the major events coming up for the rest of the 2020—2021 term; I look forward to seeing you at these events.

Stay healthy and safe; practice social distancing and wear masks.

For God and Country,

Matthew C. Thalasinos
Commander
Sons of The American Legion
Detachment of New Jersey
2019--2021
