IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE COMMANDER

FIRST THINGS FIRST!!!

As members you are WELCOME at the post any time. We urge you to stop by and join us.

Because we are a private club (except when the post is open to the public) our door is locked.  You do need to ring the buzzer to get in. It helps to have your current dues card.  Key cards available.

***

I would like to thank everyone that has supported us in the last two months.   November and December were very busy and I am very happy to report that we were very successful in our effort.  The Chili Fest was a great success and “Thank You All Very Much “  is all I can say.  So many people worked so hard.  There is not enough space to list all who contributed time and effort but please know how much your help is appreciated.

We have a lot of things coming up in the new year so please continue to join us as we look forward to 2012.

A Thank You from Linda, the CHILI FEST Coordinator

As you have heard by now, the “Chili Fest” was a huge success!!!  We raised over $31,000 and couldn’t Be Happier!!!

On behalf of our Post, I would like to thank everyone who helped.  You are all the reason for such a successful day!

I have never seen such Cooperation – From the perfectly organized parking lot – to the fun door people – perfectly run kitchen and the hardest working raffle people.

Great Job!!! And  Thank You All again!!!

Since our last news letter, we have done a lot of hard work and had a lot of fun too.  Several successful Breakfast events and by the way the guys and ladies have those biscuits and gravy just right. 

The Youngs did a nice job serving Thanksgiving Dinner, it was not as big a turnout this year as in the past, just over 50 people, but the food was good and maybe the smaller crowd means that more people were with their families this year let’s hope so.

We also had a nice Christmas party where we collected gifts for the Marine Corp.

“Toys for Tots’

As we are preparing for Christmas and getting this news letter prepared, we want to remind everyone that the New-years Eve Party is planned, the cost is $25 per person and tickets are available in the canteen.  You must buy your ticket in advance. 

The CHILI FEST was a big success.  Over $31,000 dollars were raised.  Dick Biondi was great.  But the real hero’s were YOU, the workers!!!  Everyone who helped did their task brilliantly. Everyone of you should be proud of your contribution.   

THANK YOU!!!

Upcoming Events

In the next few months, we have several events coming up that we will need your help on.   If you can lend a hand that will be appreciated very much.  Most of our events are suitable for the family to join and as always friends are welcome too.
