Member of the Year
The Leadership team, supported by the Founders, have unanimously agreed that Mike Wilson has been selected as Member of the Year for 2024. Mike has grown tremendously over the course of 2024 and truly exemplifies what a VOTL member is. Mike came to this club looking for something more than himself and has found that in Veterans of the Leaf. Mike has shown that it’s ok to make mistakes, but even more importantly, to learn and grow from them. Mike chose to step up and become an Admin for the club in early 2024, not looking for any recognition in return. These are core components of what we look for in a member, but furthermore a person. VOTL strives for its members to put others first and not want or ask for anything else in return, Mikes selfless actions and responsibilities in VOTL demonstrate this clearly to all members. This past year, Mikes heart has been shown on his sleeve with his personal convictions of integrity and accountability. Mike has taken responsibility for running our "Hump Day Herf" every Wednesday since he started it. He has also blessed many club members this year by “bombing” (aka mailing out cigars) to more members than any other person in the club. Mike has his own personal demons, like we all do. Mikes openness and awareness of these demons has shown many others in the club that it is ok to open up, be vulnerable and talk about them. No one in the club has to fight these demons on their own. In closing, we are irrevocably grateful for Mike Wilson and the love he has for Veterans of the Leaf.
Member of the Month
It is with great honor and appreciation that we announce our Member of the Month for January 2025, “The Snowman” Erick . A truly dedicated member of our cigar community, Erick embodies the spirit of camaraderie and service that we cherish in our group. Erick has consistently gone above and beyond to foster connections among our members, sharing not only his love of cigars but also his invaluable experiences actively serving in the Air Force. Erick has made a significant impact on our community, this is why we chose Erick to be 2025’s first member of the month.
Memorial Day 2025
Every year, we as a club get together on Memorial Day to remember those we have lost and have died in service to our country. This year we are going even further north in California for this go around.
Veterans Day 2025
Our Veterans Day event is something we move to different locations around the U.S. every year. By doing this, we get to experience different lounges and allow our members to share the costs of travel. This years location has not been determined yet.
