Dear VFW Family
I want to give you an update on what is going on at your Post. The new ceiling is in on the Hall Side. Please come out and take a look at it. The Hall Side is now non-smoking and ready for family events. We are going to paint the Hall Side very soon. I will keep you updated on this so if you want to help that will be great.
Now let's get down to business. We will be having a Post meeting (15th of March). We will be going over two Canteen Reports and Quartermaster's Reports since we didn't have a meeting last month. At this meeting we will be starting to nominate for Post Officers. We will do the voting and electing at the April meeting. If you want to be a Post Officer, please be at the meeting. Remember to vote you have to be a member in good standing. If your membership is expired you can not vote or be a Post Officer.
Now what is going on at the Post. We will be serving corn beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day. There will be a cost on it.
We will be doing a Chili Cook Off on 8th of March. Also on that day we will be doing a silent auction.
The last event for the month is on the 29th of March. We will be
honoring the Vietnam Veterans. The Post will be having a pot luck meal so bring your favorite food out to share with everyone. We are also having a band that day. There will be a $5 cover charge. I asked the band to play the music from that era. The band will start at 1800 (6pm) to 2100 (9pm). Please come out and honor your brothers and sisters.
I am now going to share with you how the Post is doing so far this year. Our membership is at 90.39%. We need to be at 103% to qualify for any State and National Awards. The Post just needs to get the 42 new members or renewed/reinstated by 1st of June.
I will close and hope to see you at the Post.
Sincerely
Jerry Tobey
