FOURTH PLACE IN THE NATION??????
Bad news to report on the Nation Membership trail,
we have been gunned down by France again.
As you may remember we have a little wager going

Bill West, that we will beat the Detachment of France at membership.
Well, France is in First Place with 95.3%, North Dakota, Kansas and
then Wisconsin in Fourth Place with 87.7 %. We must "Cowboy Up" and
show those Detachments that we know how to "Round Up" membership.
Are you up for the challenge?
The positive end to this story, we are still
First Place in the Central Region!!! And Central Region is in First
Place, so we know we can do it!!! Sign up a member today.
