our Voiture 45 free group checking account is open at TCF bank
thanks to voyageuer Steve Smith from Gopher Post for the referral note that yielded him $25 which was promptly
transferred to our account so we could buy checks to pay nationale and boxcar
and to the voyageuer who mailed his dues with a stamped self addressed envelope from instructions left on
his voice mail
phase 2 was not going to be complete until we had all renewals in and especially after the november 5th
district meeting, but we are going to be successful, so why wait
Phase 1 complete
we are restructuring as a virtual voiture
this website will be your place to follow the progress
those that do not have access will be informed by other means
this Voiture is an HONOR SOCIETY attached to the 5th District American Legion
all current members of Voiture 45 listed at Nationale on Aug 13, 2012 will be contacted to continue without
losing continuous years membership
details are still being worked out and 2013 cards will be printed and sent to Voiture 45 for distribution
once the structure is in place
as of right now the membership of Voiture 45 consists of PUFL Life Members, who will be finalizing the structure
we hope to have all those who want to continue and be a part of Voiture 45 renewed for the 2013 year in
a couple months
since there will not be a Locale dues, we will be requesting members to include a stamped self addressed
envelope so we can get them their card immediately upon receiving the renewal
the officers will be
CHEF de GARE (all PLM past chefs)
COMMISAR INTENDENTE (membership)
CORRESPONDENT (filling out required communication)
the ritual team will be available
VA hospital visitation will be 1st sunday at 2 pm
and any other function that a member of 45 wishes to invite other members to
example: Al Zecca mentioned it would be nice to get together for a meal, when I am in town I go to Wold
Chamberlin post 99 for a lunch on the second wednesday, they also have a pankake breakfast every month along with Post 1 and
435.
we are an honor society that is already active in many organizations, we don't need to create situations
or events, they already exist, like the Labor Day $8 steak fry put on by SAL 435
as a member of 45, don't expect to be asked to do something, but surely let us know what you have going
on. Reuben Mack likes a reason to use a toothpick
you will be contacted when we are ready to roll

In the late 80s the 5th District created a membership program for use in their District Office.
I included code for (at that time) the largest American Legion Post Mpls-Richfield 435 which
happened to be in the 5th District
It was implemented in the Department of France and the Department of Rhode Island, 5th District
and many Legion, VFW, and 40/8, Posts, Units, Squadrons, and Voitures across the United States
It is Y2K compliant, and runs under native DOS (XP and earlier, not updated in 10 years)
use of the system has always been free, and even Spenserville Ohio submitted modifications
if you wish to know how Voiture 45 interfaced years ago, it is a good example of where we were
20 years ago
extract files to a seperate folder and run VPIRUN.EXE
remember this is dos, and a mouse won't work, you need to press the number (no password)
