We fell three spots to 7th place overall, however we have until December 31st to get everyone renewed. 16th District Post Commanders and membership chairs must concentrate on renewals. So contact your members and encourage them to renew before the holidays.

We are still doing well membership wise, however we slipped to fourth place in the Department. Let's help those posts that are under 55%. If you are willing to assist. Contact the District Vice Commanders and the membership chair for help.

The district continues to do well. Membership is at 61.26 percent, and our renewals are at 57.39 percent. Renewals should be higher. We need the posts to work hard on retention. Our existing members are the backbone of the organization as they keep the posts running. 

We are off to a great start in September. Many of the posts are at fifty percent or better, and once again Posts 34, 330, 1799 and 295 are 64% or better, with Culpeper leading the charge at 71.51%. Most of the posts within the district are doing well with retention, however we cannot rest on our laurels with the 17th District in the lead and the 9th District close behind. Post commanders and membership chairs, please reach out to membership chair Bob Brady and District Commander Patrick Fox...

We are off to a great start! Congratulations to all the posts that are at 35% or better, keep working on retention and renewals. Plan an early bird event at your post or use community events to promote your membership.  Everyone have a great weekend! Hope to see some of you at the Convention in Tampa.

Post Commander Larry Laws and members of Post 114 Manassas participated in a military appreciation service at the Shiloh New Site Baptist Church 2982 Richmond Hwy, Stafford Virginia.

Congratulations to all the posts that reached 100% or better. 

Please make sure we have a copy of your Post Data Form, CSR, Americanism, Children and Youth and VA&R reports. Make sure you send a copy of your certification of officers to the Department Post Office Box no later than 23 June. Thanks
