COMMANDER’S CORNER
Good day Legionnaires...We are in full swing of acWviWes! The Post has in person meeWngs, supplemented with Zoom, for anyone that
can’t come to meeWngs, so you can sWll know what’s going on and have your voice heard.
Welcome to our new members of the American Legion, I hope you are able to find some way to serve veterans in need and yourself. If I
say so myself the spaghe_ potluck was a hit and fabulous. Hope to get the soup recipe to share
Poppy le`ers have been sent this year and there are stores that will let us give them out. Memorial Day activities are 0830 Senior
Center, following at Mt Olivet for both our Post and the VFW, and at 1100 for Greenwood. The Post is the host this year and I will try to fill Fred DeBerry’s shoes. If you’re able a`end the Greenwood
ceremony please do.
Renton River Days is returning. I will not be able to a`end, my daughter is ge_ng married that week, and I have an out of town guest
staying with me. Would love to have someone step up and arrange this year.
Take the Wme to look at the calendar to see what acWviWes you would like to parWcipate in. The Post has 2 social events each month.
Café Vets the 3rd Thursday of every month, ex- cept December, 1000 - 1200. Come enjoy coffee, light snacks, and great conversaWon. And towards the end of the month there is a potluck dinner
associated with and event. You don’t have to come to the Post meeWngs to parWcipate in the social events. If you have any ideas what we can do socially please contact me.
There is a hall usage policy in place, if you need space for no greater than 80 people, consider the Post Hall. All donaWons are
going to our Children’s Fund.
Our law and order night was a`ended by several more this year, thank you for coming. The Police Dept. filled up the ta- bles and the
Mayor even came. If you don’t parWcipate in any- thing else all year this is the one that you should.
Please consider joining the Honor Guard if you are able, even a once a month commitment helps.
Lastly, my term is coming to an end, please consider volun- teering for this vital posiWon. James is returning as Adjutant, and I’m
going to be Finance Officer, I will be there to mentor you.
Be Safe, FOR GOD AND COUNTRY.....
Patty Hurst Reese - Commander
