At the 2007 Tenth District Convention held on Sunday, June 20, 2006-2007 District Commander J. Gary Wagner announced that six Tenth District Posts were selected as an All-State Post, Post 3150 among them. The designation is limited to the top twenty Posts in the state and reflects all aspects of Post life, including membership, community activities, and other programs. This was the seventeenth time in the last nineteen years that the Arlington Post has been so honored. The announcement reflected the phone call 2006-2008 Post Commander Anderson received from 2006-2007 Department Commander C.D. "Doc" Crouch the previous weekend. The Tenth District was one of two All-State Districts.
The 2007 District Convention also saw the election of new Officers to lead the District in the next year. M.C. "Connie" Agresti and Catherine Graham were elected District Commander and Ladies Auxiliary President, respectively. It is believed this is the first time John Lyon members have filled these positions in the same year.
