Commander's Corner

       A Message from Post Commander, Bill Wilkinson

"American Legion Post 10, this is Bill, may I help you?"

Greetings Everyone!

March is turning out to be another busy month here at the Post.

At the membership meeting on the 2nd, the nominating committee will be making their report.  Yep, elections are coming up real quick!  Hey, want a job?  Be sure to come to the meeting so your voices can be heard!

As you probably know, the community drops off their flags, U.S. and others, for proper disposal.  At one point a couple of years back, there were two barrels full of flags.  They used to go to a funeral home where they were burned, but not any more.

Terry Knoll has stepped up and is now taking care of the flags proper disposal.  Since January, Terry has taken care of nearly 150 flags! (and that was the mid February count!)

KUDOS Miss Terry!  And thank you very much.  You are truly appreciated.

You know about the PALS dinner coming up.  You know about the monthly meetings.  You know about the ALA Spring Blossoms Bazaar too.

Do you realize with your help, volunteering some time, the Post 10 Family could do so much more?  Come to the Post and see for yourself.  See what you can do.  You know, just attending the monthly meetings or a PALS dinner event would be a great help.

Have any ideas on how to get the younger generation to join in?  I would truly like to hear your ideas!

OK, reminder to give someone a call and just say “Hey there, how are you doing?”.

Hope to see you at the Post real soon.

Respectfully,

Bill Wilkinson

Volunteering is the selfless act of dedicating one's time, skills, and energy to support a cause or organization without any financial gain. It involves individuals or groups freely giving their time and labor, often for community service, and can include various activities such as helping at events or working with charities.
