From Commander:
Dear Members,
Welcome to spring/summer. One day, forty and raining, the next 75 degrees, so plan your outdoor activities accordingly.
I would like to thank all who participated in our post cleanup day starting with Roy King donating all the mulch, and all who helped spread it. There was cabinet repainting and repair, electrical work and lots of cleaning. Thank you all.
And to Bonnie and the ladies that painted the curb and parking space stripes, thank you, you ladies are wonderful!
New Post officers nominations were announced and there were no contested positions, so watch the board for the list of new officers.
Thank you to the new and current people who stood up to fill officer or eboard positions.
Always plenty of work to do around the Post, so if you have time let us know and we can take care of you.
Thank you to all the members for your patronage and loyalty.
Thank you.
For God and Country
Bart Colvin

From the Auxiliary President:
May, the month of beautiful flowers and Remembrance. The American Legion Auxiliary poppy is a symbol of remembrance for our fallen soldiers and are made for veterans by veterans. Poppies are not sold by the Auxiliary but are available and donations are accepted with proceeds supporting various veterans programs. The Auxiliary promotes the poppy as a symbol of the sacrifices our military have made. Poppies are available at the bar.
The Fall/Winter bowling season has ended. Thank you to the bowlers for your support and we look forward to seeing you and your friends on the next bowling league this fall.
