Correspondants’ Corner

I want to take a moment to thank all who had the confidence to appoint me to this position. I will be available most of the time by calling Voiture Nationale anytime between 7-4 Eastern Standard Time. Please feel free to call if I can be of assistance.

I have received many requests for the new constitution. It is being looked over at this time by the Avocat Nationale. He is taking his time to be sure that everything is correct to avoid having to reprint. The major question everyone is worried about is the membership requirements. I received this from the Avocat to help dispel any question. THIS IS HOW IT WILL READ

ELIGIBILITY

Section 1. WHO MAY BECOME MEMBERS: No persons other than honorably discharged U.S. military personnel and active duty U.S. military may become members of La Societe des Quarante Hommes et Huit Chaevaux.

No Grande Voiture or Voiture Locale may prescribe or establish any eligibility qualifications for membership in La Societe which are in conflict with the Constitution of Voiture Nationale.

This being said please feel free to start taking in those members which are not members of the Legion. Please do not forget the Legion members they are still a vital part of La Societe and will always be a part of our history and future.

Also remember we now have to check DD214’s. It would be wise to get a copy of everyone’s and keep them in a safe place. The IRS is looking real hard at all non-profit organizations. If we start doing this it could save all of us problems in the years to come. Thank you for all the work you do for La Societe.

Yours in service;
