TEAM WISCONSIN Wisconsin’s Candidate for National Commander Denise Rohan has certainly expanded her horizons during the past month. Her journey has taken her to Louisiana, Colorado, Mississippi and soon Washington. She is very appreciative of the journey the Wisconsin American Legion has set her on and doing her best to make all of the Wisconsin members proud. Early in the campaign she was advised that it is polite to try the local cuisine when visiting another department. This meant trying: alligator and crawdads during her visit to Louisiana and eating catfish and grits while in Mississippi. Thankfully, she was not given the opportunity to sample any of the “Rocky Mountain” specialty – just some good old fashioned BBQ while in Colorado. The campaign will host its second hospitality event, in conjunction with the Department of Oregon, in Washington, DC on February 21. We will be distributing campaign pins, pens and brochures during the event and working on scheduling trips to those Departments we
don’t already have scheduled. Denise was sorry to miss Wisconsin’s Midwinter Conference while she was attending meetings in other Departments. She appreciates the fundraising events that took place that weekend and all of the workers who made those events a success. Although she will not be attending the Convention in Middleton this July, she is excited about the “Holiday Boutique” being held by the Auxiliary to benefit both of our candidates for national office, Denise for National Commander and Diane Duscheck for National President. In addition to the Holiday Boutique, “Club 600” raffle tickets are still being sold to benefit both campaigns. Tickets cost $50.00 each and only 600 are being sold with prizes totaling $5,000.00. You can get yours by contacting Jan Pulvermacher-Ryan (608) 246-9707 or Diana Sirovina (414) 321-1479. Past Department Commander Ted DeMicchi and his team are working on a June 25th golf outing and look forward to statewide par-
ticipation. More information will be distributed soon about this event. Iowa County and Barneveld Post No. 433 are planning an event on Saturday, March 26th which will start at noon and include live music by Still Strumming. Lunch will be available as well as the opportunity to bid on several gift baskets and raffle items. Donations are always welcome. We have been asked to make the red “Team Wisconsin” shirt available for sale as well as a baseball cap with the team logo on it. We are in the process of working with our vendor and as soon as they are available orders will be taken through the campaign website at www.deniserohan.org You can follow the campaign at www.deniserohan.org as well as make donations via a secure link. You can also contact the Candidate at denise@deniserohan.org or by mail at PO Box 930100, Verona, WI 53593. Thank you for your continued support and prayers as the campaign keeps rolling toward Reno which is just 18 months away.
