The District 7 Recruiting Team members are: Charles Patrick, Richard Smith,Richard Edwards, Bill Breedlove, Dale Beckman, Brian Denney, Jim Hammond, Terry Clay and Richard Banks.

First to speak was Dept of Mo Sr-Vice Commander Bob Wonnell who talked about the "Yellow Ribbon" events and the importance of VFW posts being involved in the events

Sr-Vice CDR Wonnell was followed by Certified National Recruiter Bob Harmon of DeSoto VFW Post 1831. Recruiter Harmon spoke at length on recruiting new members and ways to retain the members. It was a very interesting talk full of many useful ideas.

Ed Hawley, District 18 Veterans Service Information Officer and member of Mtn Grove VFW Post 3770 finished the session with a short talk about the VSIO Program and the need of having "Veterans Information Benefit Fairs" and how to properly fill out and use the "Referrals".
