       A Message from Post Commander, Bill Wilkinson

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

Greetings Everyone and Happy Holidays!

Here it is December - another busy month for the Post 10 Family!  Starting out with Sunday, December 7th -  “ a date which will live in infamy”, is the Pearl Harbor remembrance ceremony, starting at 8:30.  Everyone is invited.

Then there is the Kids Christmas Give-Away.  You can still help these needy children by adopting a family or just donating to the cause.

Christmas Day,  Thursday, 25th from 2 - 4 pm, dinner will be served.  RSVP  is requested.

That’s just a brief outlook of December, but November was a busy month too.

There was the Veterans Day Parade, where the float got 1st place!  The ALA Holiday Sparkle Bazaar was a huge success and Thanksgiving Dinner was very well received!  Thank yous go out to all of the Volunteers that make all of this happen!

For all you Ham Radio Operators out there, our station is up and running now.  Many thanks for all the donations, including antennas and cable and all the volunteer hours that made this happen!

Speaking of volunteers - I’m sure you all know Post 10 is an ALL Volunteer organization!  If you can spare some time, come be one of those most valued people known as a Volunteer!  Want to get more involved?  Still looking for Honor/Color Guard folks and there are a couple of Post positions that still need filling!

One last item - Give someone a call to see how they are doing or just say “Hi”.

May this season bring you peace, warmth, and meaningful moments with the people who matter most.

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.
