January 11 Update

Morning All,

I just wanted to give members the good news! After all the dust has settled Grant reports that our take in the auction reached $934.00. This is almost $200 dollars more that last year. Great job everyone, especially to Tami for all the donations she was able to get.

Finally, yesterday after our treasurer's audit we were able to get all of our meeting stuff from Post 161 and store it in Post 17's storage area. On February 15th, our next general meeting, the executive board will meet at Post 17 at 1000 where we will hold our meeting and then set up the needed stuff for our general meeting, such as chairs tables and podium. Leslie the post manager was installing a 75 inch TV/monitor for the hall that evening. So we are all set for our next meeting on February 15th at 1100 for our social hour with the meeting to start at 1200. At the end of the meeting we will put all the stuff we got out back and retire to the lounge for additional socializing since no one has to run off back to home because it is late or they have work the next day. I hope we have a good turn out for our new day, time and location.

Thanks

Update From January 8 Meeting

Hey All,

Last night we made it official, we are moving our meetings to the third Saturday of the month and moving the location to American Legion Post 17. The post is located at 1901 North Harlan, Edgewater, CO. It is real close to the intersection of 20th ave and Harlan. Time will be 1100 for the social hour and the meeting starting at 1200. There will be burgers and fries for purchase and drinks. The post manager does all the cooking herself with the help of a volunteer, so there will only be one item on the menu. In the future we can ask for other items if we want such as burritos or tacos or chili. We just have to give at least a week's notice. I believe the move to Saturday works out great for most everyone. Post 161 was unable to support this move, so we were lucking enough to have Post 17 step up and supply us with a free place to meet. I fully believe the Post 17 will turn out to be a great chose, for us and them. When you come to the next meeting, please park behind the post building and go thru the double doors on the back of the building. They take you directly into the back of the hall.

Secondly, we had a great auction. It was really active with several battles for items. I do not have the amount we took in but it appears that it will match or bet last year's mark of $700. Well done everyone especially Tami for all her donations.

Lastly, we had a new member show up, Eric Ryle and his son. He runs the website thesubvet.com. It has podcasts and videos all about submarines and submariners. He also volunteered to take over the K4K programs. That is outstanding. So it will take a little while to get the program up and running again, but we will finally get back into business.

Thanks

Paul

Asbestos Alert!

Written by T. Michael Bircumshaw and is in the last publication of the American Submariner on pg. 29.  It is important enough to be read to the members as they may have missed it.  “If you served any time between years 1900 and 2000 and did any time at sea or at certain Military installations, then you have been exposed to Asbestos.  Please get at least a high definition, no contrast needed, cat scan of your lungs.  Do it with a civilian pulmonologist, not the VA, and ask them to specifically look for pleural plaques and interstitial scarring in your lungs.  Once you have finally done that, call me at 951-775-4549.  Call me to tell me the results and we are hoping that your lungs are clean.  But, if like me, you have pleural plaques or/and asbestosis, then I can offer you some guidance on what to do about it.  It cannot be cured, but it can be compensated for, call me.  Don’t make me repeat myself, because I will.  Please do this for you and your family.”

Here are the links of how to make a claim to VA on PACT Act issues.

The first one is off the VA website and it is the actual form to make a claim. It does require you to be registered with the VA health System. The second one is a link to a VFW website to ask for help on applying for a claim. They do step by step instructions. The phone number is the VA hot line to ask VA help in filing a claim. The last is a YouTube on all this information. He is an ex-marine with info on all the agent orange and toxic exposure acts. Good info.
