West Stearns County Council Commander
Hello my name is Nathan Smith and I am your County Council Commander for West Stearns County. We have not had a county council in West Stearns for many years, I am looking forward to picking this back up. I live in Sauk Centre with my wife and two dogs and have lived here since 2017. I am a veteran of both the Air Force as well as the Army, I first joined the Air Force in 1994 and then the Army in 2005. My father is a Air Force Veteran and I have three brothers in the Military right now. I am currently a full time college student at Penn State online and am studying for my B.A. in Political Science. So far we have had two meetings that have gone very well, I would love to have more participation after all this is your county council and I am open to any and all ideas of what you would want done. Our next meeting is going to be in Brooten post 288 on the 20th of September at 7pm. So far my Adjutant is Jeff Thompson and my Chaplain is Linda Budde I still need a Sgt-At-Arms as well as a Finance Officer, if any of these positions would interest you please feel free to contact me as well as be at our next meeting. We plan on meeting quarterly unless something comes up and we need to get together. I am very big into organizing funds to help out our brothers and sisters across the country when ever a natural disaster hits and will continue with this if anyone has ideas in this aspect that would be greatly appreciated as one we are small but together we can do the unstoppable.
