Allendale February 10, 2010 THE VILLADOM TIMES III • Page 7 Borough’s VFW post urgently needs 10 more members by John Koster Unless 10 new members sign up by the end of the month, Allendale Memorial Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10181 may lose its charter because of an organizational decree, according to Post Deputy Commander Ernie Cassidy. Members of the VFW may transfer to Allendale Post 1081 simply by signing in, but unless they do so before Feb. 26, the post could lose its charter. Commander Stanley Kober from the Washington Elm VFW Post in Ho-Ho-Kus/Ridgewood urges all VFW members to do what they can to keep the Allendale group functional. Kober is known locally for spearheading the recent successful effort to revitalize the Washington Elm Post. “While I cannot speak for all the 40-plus Veterans of Foreign Wars posts in Bergen County, I believe that none of my comrades wants to see the Allendale VFW Post 10181 have its charter pulled because its number of members is below an arbitrarily assigned number,” Kober said recently. “In fact, such an action appears to be contrary to the VFW national bylaws. That is, our national bylaws state that “the (national) commander-in-chief shall revoke a post’s charter Beginners invited to hockey clinic The Northern Highlands Hockey Association is hosting a free beginner level hockey clinic to all youths from Allendale, Ho-Ho-Kus, Saddle River, and Upper Saddle River. Come skate with Northern Highlands Regional High School varsity hockey players and coaches at the SportO-Rama Ice Rink at 20 College Road, Monsey, New York on Feb. 14, 21 and 28 from 2 to 2:45 p.m. Each session is supervised and free rental skates, helmets and sticks are available. For additional information, contact Sport-O-Rama at (845) 356-3919 or visit www.highlandshockey.com. if such post as less than 10 members on Feb. 1. The Allendale Post has 25 paid-up members, I am told. “Furthermore, I cannot see why a post that does all its paperwork as required, passes its annual inspection, and holds various activities for its members and other veterans as well as the community at large, should have its charter pulled and/or be required to consolidate with another post. It is contrary to the spirit or our organization and the designated ‘Purposes of the Corporation.’” The Allendale VFW sponsors the annual Memorial Day Parade, Veterans Day ceremonies, and flag retirement collections. Members also donate to the Girl Scouts and help out with local seniors. VFW members who wish to sign up may call Cassidy at (201) 825-0718. ������������������ ��������������������� by Usui and Tibetan Reiki Master Nancy L.
