Here we are in Indiana trying to get old dogs to learn new tricks.  Something like talking to the wall at times, but you keep talking thinking the voice you hear rebounding is actually another person talking back.  I suppose it’s an echo effect or something.

Any way we are trying to communicate better then we have in the past and do better planning then in the past.  It all boils down to communication and cooperation.  If as Veterans we want to be heard we have to communicate with one another and the rest of the communities we live and work in.

If we want our programs to have relevance, we need to ask questions of those we are trying to keep and attract and make the programs something Veterans and their families want to come out for, and participate in.  It sounds real fine to say we have this or that going on, but the real meat is in the people who volunteer to come out and organize, maintain, and do the work of making the programs happen.

We don’t need just more card carrying members; we need more active members doing the volunteer work that needs to be done.  Comrades teaming up to get the programs started, organized, and maintained.  Joining a Team that already exists; one that may be growing so old it is about to become extinct or undermanned due to age of participants.

The UVC is one idea whose time has come; now all of us need to make it work.

Chaplain, Randall Jacobsen
