Excerpts of letter to Area Vice from Loren Davies
A "first in the Nation" Military Courtesy Room is being planned by the Emerald City MCL Detachment to be housed at the Syracuse Airport. This room will be for troops of all services, and give them a place to relax and socialize between flights, with free refreshments etc.
Commandant Loren Davies, Emerald City Detachment met with the Airport Commissioner yesterday. He showed him the room at the north end of the airport, and it's perfect. They are looking for monetary and furniture donations ( coffeemakers{ large capacity} small TV, refrigerator, etc.) Any help will be appreciated. This has to be approved by the Syracuse Common Council in two weeks, but the Commissioner has assured him it's not a problem because the Syracuse Mayor is all for it.
We will need press coverage and we are going to Fort Drum and let them know that it will probably open by the middle of June. Future updates will be posted as they happen.
Contact- Loren Davies
Q:
How do I edit my Division, Department or Detachment Web Page?
A: EVERY DIVISION VICE-COMMANDANT AND DEPARTMENT
AND DETACHMENT COMMANDANT SHOULD APPOINT A MEMBER WHO HAS INTERNET ACCESS AND
COMPUTER EXPERIENCE AS THEIR "WEB SERGEANT".
ALL COMMANDANTS RECEIVED A PACKAGE WITH INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO ASSIGN A WEB
SERGEANT IN THE MAIL IN JUNE OF 2005.
ALL NEW DETACHMENTS RECEIVE THE SAME INSTRUCTIONS WHEN THEIR CHARTER INFORMATION
IS SENT OUT.
If you have spoken to your Commandant and are absolutely positive, he/she does
not have the instructions, ONLY the Commandant may request one. The name,
address and email address of the Commandant requesting the instructions MUST
match what is on record at National Headquarters. If needed, send a recent
Officer Installation Report to National Headquarters and allow 5 business days,
for the information to be input, before making the request for instructions.
ALL DIVISIONS, DEPARTMENTS AND DETACHMENTS SHOULD ASSIGN A WEB SERGEANT THEN
PASS A COPY OF THE INSTUCTIONS TO THAT WEB SERGEANT SO THAT HE/SHE CAN MAKE
CORRECTIONS, CHANGES AND ADDITIONS TO THEIR OWN WEB PAGE LOCATED ON THE NATIONAL
WEBSITE.
ONLY THE ASSIGNED WEB SERGEANT CAN MAKE CHANGES TO THAT DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OR
DETACHMENT WEB PAGE!
Neither National Headquarters nor the National Webmaster will make changes to
your Web Page! That responsibility must lie with that Web Sergeant. In the event
a Detachment does not have anyone who can handle that assignment, it is
suggested you contact your Commandant to request help from the Department Web
Sergeant. Only the person assigned by the Commandant will be able to edit the
web page. Please do not write to National Headquarters or the National Webmaster
to explain that you are the Editor of your web page if you have not been
explicitly assigned. For security reasons, only the person who is chosen by the
Commandant will be assigned the rights to edit their web page. If you are
interested in being the Division, Detachment or Department Web Sergeant, discuss
this with your Commandant. Keep in mind that you should have experience with
computers and the Internet.
