From Commander:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Members,<\/p>\n

Welcome to spring\/summer. One day, forty and raining, the next 75 degrees, so plan your outdoor activities accordingly.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

And to Bonnie and the ladies that painted the curb and parking space stripes, thank you, you ladies are wonderful!<\/p>\n

New Post officers nominations were announced and there were no contested positions, so watch the board for the list of new officers.<\/p>\n

Thank you to the new and current people who stood up to fill officer or eboard positions.<\/p>\n

Always plenty of work to do around the Post, so if you have time let us know and we can take care of you.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all the members for your patronage and loyalty.<\/p>\n

Thank you.
\nFor God and Country
\nBart Colvin
\nCommander<\/b><\/p>\n

Mission Statement:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow service-members and veterans.<\/strong> <\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Auxiliary will be raffling 2 baskets this month, Mother’s Day and Memorial Day. Be sure to get your tickets, they sell quickly. Thank you for supporting the Auxiliary and good luck.<\/p>\n
