PennDOT will begin issuing a new series of military-themed license plates to honor and remember the sacrifices of our service members and veterans. These license plates will include special designations for a variety of combat-related decorations and expand the criteria to qualify for the Merchant Marines plate. The license plates were authorized by Act 109 of 2014 and are now available for qualifying service members and veterans.

PennDOT now offers 34 different types of registration plates recognizing veterans. For a full list, click on the web link below. The fees for these special plates vary.

GOOD NEWS!

The state has decided to allow you to opt out of receiving those nasty dues reminders. You know, the blue ones, the red ones the pink ones, etc. The procedure for getting yourself opted out is this:

- Get your name (as it appears on your membership card) and your membership number,
- Send an email directly to me: james.gieseke@verizon.net

- OR you may write it down and hand it to me or mail it to the post
ATTN: Membership (no scraps of paper, please)

- I will then opt you out of receiving membership renewal notices FOREVER.

If you should decide you would like to receive them again, simply do the same as above only say you want to reactivate.

NOTE: You may still get a reminder from National.

Membership requirements have recently been changed.
