| Greg Schwerman Razorback Base Commander |
Let’s make 2012 fun and productive.
At last month’s base meeting, the members present, discussed voted on,
and confirmed the base events and meeting schedule for the 2012 calendar
year.
We start off February with the fun part. Mary Christians has reserved 4
tables of 4 for the Races on February 25 in the Carousel Room. The cost
is $36.50 per person which includes entrance ticket and all day food,
desserts, coffee and tea. Alcohol drinks not included in the price. Let's get
these tables filled; and get your money to Mary as soon as possible, since
she had to pay for the seats in advance. To reserve your seat, send Mary
a check for your reservations before February 18th. This is always a great
time for those who attend. Gates open at 1100 at Oaklawn for the Races.
The base bylaws state that we must have 6 business meetings a year; our
next base meeting is March 24th at AIMM. This year as we did last year,
the base meetings will be followed with a potluck dinner after the meeting.
Base meetings will be conducted May 19th at the base campout, August
25th at AIMM, October 27th at AIMM (to take nominations for base
officers) along with the Navy Birthday dinner, and November 17th, At
AIMM (conduct election of officers).
In April the fun part continues with the annual Submarine Birthday Dinner
at the Historic Hotel Seville in Harrison on April 6th, 7th and 8th. May 18th,
19th and 20th is the annual Base Campout at Dardanelle State Park in
Russellville, June 15th, 16th and 17th we will travel to Heber Springs for a
stay at a local B&B and bowling at the Heber Lanes, July is Arkansas
Travelers Baseball (date to be determined), September is the USSVI
convention, October and November we will participate in Navy Birthday
and Veterans Day events, and end the year with the annual base Christmas
Party at AIMM on December 15th.
If anyone has any suggestions for events for the base, please make your
ideas known by presenting your ideas at the next base meeting or sending
detailed information including dates and times to gschwerman@suddenlink.

Congratulations to our new Vice Commander Allan Malone and Base
Treasurer Mark (camel) Taylor, who accepted the appointments at the
January meeting.
Reminder that base elections will held in October/November of this year,
so I encourage everyone who has been thinking about being more active in
the base, to think about stepping up to a higher position as a base officer.
