COMMANDER'S CORNER

 Greetings all Legion Members'

   In October our Flag Retirement went very well with over 400 flags retired with honor.  I want to thank all who attended and a special thanks to the Civil Air Patrol whose members helped tend the fire at the retirement ceremony.  The Post celebrated the Navy Birthday with cake and food for all.  Thank you fro your service all you Navy vets.

   At our General Meeting the members voted to eliminate one handicap parking space.  The space to the right side of our flag pole will be eliminated; this will leave 3 handicap parking spaces located near the front entrance.

   The Ladies Auxiliary hosted a Ham dinner with all the fixings.  Good food at a Good price.  The Post annual Hunter's Breakfast, Rifle Raffle, Halloween parties were just a few more activities in the month of October.

    We have reduced the price of Draft beer to $1.00 per glass.  That's right, Dollar Drafts are back, so stop by and re-live the good old days with a draft beer for a buck.

  In November we will celebrate the Marine Corps Birthday on Nov. 10th at 1200 hrs. with a cake, food and special happy hour prices.  On Nov 11th at 11:11 hours we will have a short Veterans Day program with food served afterwards and special happy hour prices.  Please Check your newsletter, Post web site, or call the post for dates and times of post activities.

   Happy Thanksgiving to All.

 

American Legion, Ladies auxiliary, Son of the American Legion, working together to make a better post.
