SUPPORT GEORGIA VETERAN'S FUND
🎯 WANTED: ONE MUSTACHE FOR A MISSION Goal: $35,000 for Georgia Veterans They say, “With great mustache comes great responsibility…” and Department Commander Michael Schwartz is proving it! Help us meet our goal of $35,000 to support the Georgia Veterans Fund, which benefits:
• Georgia-area VA Hospitals
• The Georgia War Veterans Home
If the goal is met, Commander Schwartz will shave the mustache—live—at the 2026 Department Convention! This isn’t just about facial hair. It’s about veterans helping veterans. Every dollar goes directly to programs that improve the lives of those who’ve served. Make your donation today and help us shave the stash for a cause! 🪖 Donations can also be made in person at Department Headquarters, Convention, or by using the QR Code or link below to access an online payment system.

Mid-winter Conference is here!
I hope everyone is ready for a busy weekend of information and fellowship with our Legion family. As usual, there will be a DEC meeting on Thursday evening. Please make every effort to come to the conference sometime during the weekend, even if you can’t make it for all 3 days.
Membership numbers seem to be very inconsistent. One week is very good, and the next seems to be stuck. Please continue the hard work you all are doing, and don’t let one bad week make you feel like the cause is lost. We are moving in the right direction, and it’s going to be a good year if we keep putting our best effort forward. Remember that positive energy is infectious!
I’m so proud of the entire department coming together to make the future of the Legion in Georgia look bright and productive. We’ve experienced some bumps in the road this year, but nothing that we have not been able to overcome as a team of common-goal-oriented people. Let’s remember our mission and do all that we can to accomplish that mission as a unified family.
The best is yet to come! Commander Michael Schwartz
