Commander's Corner

       A Message from Post Commander, Bill Wilkinson

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

  Greetings everyone!

It’s hard to believe it’s March already and with 29 days (leap year) in February,  where did it go?

This month is proving to be a busy one too.

The SAL National Commander will be at Post 10 for a banquet, you’re all invited, but need to make reservations by the 4th!

The 16th is going to be the St. Patrick’s Day dinner, and you know what that will be!  Yep, Corned Beef and Cabbage!  Please try to attend so we can continue putting on these dinners!

Around the Post - we’ve received the bid (for the insurance company) to have the hand railing replaced on the North side of the building where the lady ran it down with her car.

In the Memorial Garden, there is going to be a wall built so the Gold Star and Blue Star Plaques can finally get mounted.

If you missed the  February Post membership meeting, we talked about dues.  National and Department are raising dues starting the 2025 membership year.  Currently your dues are $50.00 with $18.00 staying at Post 10.  Beginning in 2025 the Post will only get to keep $8.00 to help keep the Post and all of the supported programs running.  I would really like your thoughts on this.  Do we raise Post dues or not?  There is also an option now to pay for 3 years!  Send me an email with your thoughts.

There is a collection (donations) for a new drinking fountain.  It’s got a water bottle filler too!  Can you help?

Hope you can make it to the next Post meeting on March 4th at 6 pm?  Would like to see more members attend.

Respectfully,

Bill Wilkinson, Commander
