Finishing up a week in Alaska visiting 4 Posts, Department Headquarters and Alaska’s Mid Winter Conference.

Great things going on within the department and members have all been friendly and involved in their communities. Now onto Seaside Oregon to represent CIC Carol Whitmore at the Department of Oregon VFW Mid Winter Conference.
