With the lifting on meeting restrictions Columbus Base was able to hold our June meeting at the Hilliard Amvets (Map). Brian Farnsworth and Josten Tripphavong were introduced, Brian is a former member who just relocated to the columbus area and this is the first meeting Josten has been able to attend.

Shipmates,

The Board of Directors and the Convention Committee members held a teleconference meeting today, Friday, 15 May to determine whether or not to hold the 2020 National Convention scheduled for Tucson, Az.
This POC Bulletin contains the combined comments from that meeting from National Senior Vice Commander Jon Jaques, National Election Master Tom Conlon and National Awards Chairman Bill Scott.

 To all USSVI shipmates:

In light of the current national pandemic emergency, the USSVI board of directors has voted to cancel the 2020 National Convention in Tuscon.  This convention will be rescheduled for August 2023.
The BOD felt a number of uncontrollable circumstances made having the convention not in the best interest of the organization.
If you are due a refund for your convention registration, please give the convention committee time to issue checks and get those refunds in the mail.
