COMMANDER’S CORNER
November/December
First of all, I would like to thank everyone who picked up the ball while I was working the outage at the powerhouse recently. Especially my wife, Nancy, who does a great job helping me around the Post and to whom I do not give enough credit. Thank you, Nancy and I sincerely love you.
Time To Pay Your Annual Membership Dues
ATTENTION SAL MEMBERS:
There will be a meeting on January 20, 2009 at 7pm to start the process of adopting a Constitution and Bylaws for our Squardron. All members are invited to attend.
Please Respond Now To Renew Your 2009 American Legion Benefits
Our new key cards will be available Monday, December 1, 2008 for the 2009 calendar year. To sign the muster books, you will need a current door card by January 1, 2009. To keep your same number for the Daily and Weekly muster, you will have to get your new door card by February 1,2009. To receive your new card, just bring your current 2009 membership card to the Post and you will receive a new door card.
This is the time of the year when every organization is usually asking for donations. We are no exception. Every year our Ladies Auxiliary has an Angel tree to benefit needy families of New Castle. Each Angel costs $5.00 and the member’s name is put on the tree in the canteen. This is a very worthwhile cause and we hope you can be a part of it. Also, we are again raffling off aonë-thght stay at Dover Downs and $1,500.00 at our Christmas Party in December. This would be a nice Christmas gift for yourself or someone else. Please make it a point to send in the stubs from the raffle that we recently sent out.
On Sunday, October 26, we had a new shuffleboard installed because the one we bought recently was defective. Although it was not our fault about the board’s condition, I would like to emphasize that we must take care of this new board. No smoking or drinking over the board and if at all possible, I know we all do it one time or another, please refrain from leaning against the board which will knock it out of level.
As I continue to let people know, hopefully, we are all in this together and without everyone’s help, either financial or volunteering or both, we would not survive as a Veteran’s Organization.
In Comradeship,
Frank
