Commander’s Notes by Tom Murphy:  Our Post renovation project is drawing to a close. It only seems as if it started a life time ago.  I hope that when you visit, and I hope that you visit often, you will find everything to your liking.  A lot of legionnaires put a lot of time into making it come out right.  I cannot thank them enough for the effort they have put into our Post on your behalf.  We managed to keep part of the Post open during this entire process.  This is where these legionnaires came in.  They broke down, moved and setup every time we had to move or close operations.  Things went into storage, and then things came out of storage. Furniture was assembled, and put in place.  That is what being a legionnaire is all about, helping their Post become a better Post home. We could still use a lot of help paying for our renovation. When you receive our fund raising letter, please give it serious consideration.  It only takes a lot of us giving a little to make a huge difference.  We hope that those of you in better circumstances can give a little more.  Each of you will receive a letter on Post letterhead, acknowledging your donation. Remember that if you would like to suggest events, activities, or entertainment, contact our 2nd Vice Commander Buzz Miller.  Our Post hall is available for private parties, conferences, and meetings. Please call the front office for details. Elections for the Post Executive Committee will be held at the May General Membership meeting. Consider running for office and help to make your Post better.

Sons of the American Legion News: by Bill Gray, Sqdn. Commander -     The SAL membership voted to discontinue Sunday kitchen service at the end of the NFL season. Thursday pizza will be served for the unforeseeable future. We will continue to use Anita’s homemade sauce. Our thanks to everyone who has supported us in the past. We are looking forward to serving you in the future.

Unfortunately, we recently experienced the loss of John Belles. John was a very active member and a hard worker. He will be sorely missed by the entire squadron. “May he find peace in the final command.”

   Meetings are the third Wednesday of each month. We look forward to seeing you there.     If you have any questions please contact Bill Grey, Commander, SAL at 638-4158.
