COMMANDER’S CORNER

Good day Legionnaires... Membership is off to a good start with several new members, WELCOME. If you haven’t renewed yet, remember you can’t be in the drawing for one of four gift cards to a restaurant of your choice. Value of the card is $40.00, and the drawing will be on 9 November. I have to apologize for not get our Post signed up for the Veterans Day Parade, I thought I had until the Friday after the Post meeting, nope it was the Friday before and they take no late entries. Auburn Post has graciously offered us to march with them, the truck wasn’t entered so we can’t use it. I am so sorry, next year I won’t be late. Take the time to look at the calendar to see what activities you would like to participate in. The Post has 1 social event each month. Café Vets the 3rd Thursday of every month, except December, 1000 – 1200, note time change. Come enjoy coffee, light snacks, and great conversation. And towards the end of the month we do our special awards, sometimes with a potluck sometimes with desert only. You don’t have to come to the Post meetings to participate in the social events. If you have any ideas what we can do socially please contact me. Honor Guard is always looking for new members, I’m happy to see some new members. I’ve been enjoying the interactions we have and I’m sure you do. Stay safe and healthy. 

FOR GOD AND COUNTRY
