Past Commanders Meeting
By PC Al Kusmierz
The next Past Commanders Club Meeting will be on
Tuesday, May 12th, 2015 at 7:00 PM sharp in the meeting
hall. Regular order of business.
From the Post Commander…
As you may recall, last winter we had to replace a
furnace, one of the two that controlled the temperature in the post. After further inspection, it was noted
that the second furnace would need replacement
before next winter. This was due to cracks in the heat
exchanger, and other age related wear and tear. These
furnaces have a working life span of approximately 15
years. This has been very costly. To help defray these
costs a raffle will be held, the details of which will
be explained in an upcoming mailing. Legionnaires,
Commander Russ Monin
Sons of the Legion and the Ladies Auxiliary all enjoy the use of this
post, so it must be stressed that the participation of everyone is very
important.
This is the last message I will write as Commander of Post #527.
When the election was over last May, I was told that the ensuing 12
months would pass more quickly than I could imagine. I expressed
some doubt, but they were right. Looking back this year has flown by.
Another election looms with a new slate of officers. I know they will
find the same level of support and assistance that I have enjoyed. I
wish to thank everyone for the opportunity they accorded me when
they elected me Commander. I will try to continue helping out to the
best of my ability, but this year has been an honor I never expected.
God Bless you all.

Membership
DD-214
By VC Mark Wilson, Membership Chairman
To my fellow legionnaires as
membership chairman I will bring
you an update to membership so far
this year. As of March 31, 2015 we
have had 935 members whom have
sent in their dues for 2015. We have
received 29 new members into the
American Legion Post 527 as of this date. Our Post 527
welcomes these veterans as new members into the ranks of
our organization. As always we are looking to our members
to invite veterans to join our Post. Last year we maintained
1000 members, BUT we only had 95% at the years end.
This year we stand now at 93%. We need cooperation from
the 110 members that have not yet sent in their dues for
2015. I want to thank all those members that have signed
up these new members to our organization thus far for the
year and look forward to have other members send in their
dues as early as possible. We have a great start for the
year on membership thus far. We have to go out of our way
to meet our goals for the year to try to make 100% this year.
As always thank you, for your support.
DD-214 is now available online. The National Personnel Records
Center (NPRC) has provided a website for veterans to gain access to
their DD-214 online: www.vetrecs.archives.gov
Veterans Benefits Counseling Office
Veterans Benefits Office is now located Monday-Friday 8:00 AM-4:00
PM in the Town Clerk’s Office in the Hamburg Town Hall.
Register Your DD-214 Forms
By Bob Kenefic, Historian
Honorably discharged veterans from all branches of the military
are encouraged to record their DD-214 forms with the Erie County
Clerk’s office. It’s free. The benefits of doing this is that families have
a record verifying your service, which can be used for many things
including obtaining benefits, employment and burial services.
You can do this at the Town Hall or go to www.erie.gov/clerk for
information.

Election of Officers
Hamburg American Legion Post 527 will be conducting our
annual pilgrimage for Memorial Day on Monday, May 25th this
year. We will lay wreaths at the four cemeteries: Prospect Lawn,
Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery, Hillcrest Cemetery and Maplewood Cemetery.
We will have breakfast at the Post at 07:00 hours, then proceed
to the cemeteries from here. Our first ceremony will be at 08:00
hours. If you would like to join us to respect our fallen veterans,
please do so if time allows and you have the time to share.
We will have a ceremony upon our return back at the Post
with Hamburg Town Officials who are able to attend giving
reverence to our departed comrades. A lite lunch will be provided
from the ladies Auxiliary. We would like all veterans and their
families to attend.
As members of Post 527 you should be aware that on Saturday, May 2nd, 2015 at 11:00 AM we will be conducting our
election of Officers. Nominations from the floor took place on
April 7th. It’s important to be able to select the Officers of your
choosing that can offer the most representation and input for you
as members of this Post. We need members that want to become
Officers in this Post to stand up and be counted to do your part.
Volunteer or recommend to the Post Officers names of persons
that would contribute their time to help run this Post. A position
at our Post 527 can be rewarding. Each and every year we move
up our officers into new positions thru the voting process leaving
other positions open for new nominees to step forward. Any
member in the good standing of the American Legion is welcome
to be nominated to any position he or she would like to run for
as always.
All our Officers for years have contributed to the Post functions
and everyday duties that have kept this Post one of the biggest in
New York State. Some of our Officers have advanced to County
positions, you as a member of our Post can take great pride in
the job your elected Officers have done for this Post 527 and you
our loyal members.
This year we have lost our Chaplain William Burke, God rest
his soul. Thank you to PC Pat Nealon for stepping up to take care
of the Chaplain’s duties.

National Sons Event at Hamburg Post
By ECC Paul Steward
The Hamburg Post was host to the National Eastern Gathering of the Sons of The American Legion on April 17-18. Over 128
people attended the two days of activity at Hamburg. Friday night
was a meet and greet for the incoming leading candidate for
National Vice Commander 2015-2016 Bill Hill from Maryland. We
held a leadership workshop run by two Past National Commanders for over 30 Sons members from 8 different states on Saturday
and the dinner Saturday evening
was the culmination of a great
weekend.
During this event our Post
SAL Squadron Commander John
Poppenberg was awarded an
honorary life membership by our
Squadron. John’s service to the
Post is exemplary and this is just
a small token to say thank you
for all he does. He received a
sustained standing ovation from SAL Squadron 527 Natl. SAL Vice Com.
Com. John Poppenberg
Greg “Doc” Gibbs
the over 128 guests!
The squadron also presented National Vice Commander Greg
“Doc” Gibbs with a check for $2000 for Legion Family charities
at the gathering. This check will be turned over at the May 2015
National Executive Committee Meeting of the Sons in Indianapolis to go to Children and Youth Charities. This was the largest
single donation our Sons have ever made to Children and Youth
Charities and will be duly noted.

Annual Post Clean Up
ED GWITT
By VC Mark Wilson
This is your Post and our job #1 is to clean up after a long cold,
winter. The Post took a big hit this year condition wise. We are looking
forward to your support. We need your help for our Annual Post Clean
Up for 2015 which will be held on Saturday, May 9th, 2015 at 9:00 AM
until finished. Bring a shovel, rake, clippers and anything that will help
in our efforts outside and inside the building. We will pull weeds, mulch
flower beds and clean the parking area. If you have a power washer we
can clean the siding and the outside of windows at the same time. We
can also use personnel for the inside to clean windows, baseboards and
things that don’t get accomplished in the normal day to day operations
of the Post. I want to thank you in anticipation for your efforts to clean
up our Post.
