In an ongoing effort to procure insurance for our state Color guard, Commander Cromley has requested that all Chapter presidents please provide the names and number of Color guardsmen in each chapter, and any events said chapters plan to attend during a calendar year. Please list all events whether in West Virginia or another state, and regardless of whether or not they are sponsored by a Chapter. Information is needed to complete an application for insurance, and names will not be needed by provider, but to be certain no duplicates of members appear in error.
