The Garden State Basha presented a wreath at the Fifth Annual Memorial Service on May 25 at the Gen. William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery, Arneytown, N.J., in honor of departed CBI veterans. Garden State was one of over 50 organizations that presented wreaths at this service. Presenting the wreath were Commander Robert Abrams and John Stell.

  The 13th Anniversary Dinner Dance, held June 8, honored both the newly-elected officers and one of the basha's founders, Warren Weidenburner. Warren was saluted by past basha commander and co-founder Ross Miller, who described the work done by him and Warren in getting this basha started. Also speaking was P/C Robert Kohler, who thanked Warren for his roll in the life of the basha. He told him how much the basha had meant to the members through the years, the friendships that have been made, the many good times the members have had together.

  Commander Abrams volunteered that Warren is a gentleman in every sense of the word, a man of many good deeds, one who never boasts of his accomplishments, always a true friend. Abrams called the members in attendance to attention, called for a hand salute to Warren which lasted for a minute and concluded with the toast: "Warren, this is our salute to you as a true friend and an honored basha member."
