From Commander David Thibeau on June 22, 2020
Post 44 remains closed as a result of several State of New Mexico Public Health Emergency Orders to limit the spread of Covid-19. Compliance forced Post 44 to close its doors March 19.
We have been closed for more than 3 months, but will reopen as soon as possible. The officers and staff continue to tend to Post business and maintain the facilities.
Note –
In-house Executive Committee and General Membership Meetings remain cancelled.
To address the election of 2020-2021 officers, Post 44 followed the National and Department of NM recommendation to keep current officers in place until the 2021 election time.
The Executive Committee unanimously passed by phone-vote, a Post 44 resolution keeping the current officers in place and allowed the filling of any vacancies. We will review the Resolution and details of this action at the next General Membership meeting after we reopen.
Officers in place until the 2021 election time.
