       A Message from Post Commander, Bill Wilkinson

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

Happy New Year Everyone!

As we welcome in 2026 and make those New Year’s Resolutions, I wonder how many of you will add the Post 10 Family to one?  Like - attend meetings or participate in more events or stop in and have breakfast.  Maybe this will be the year to really get involved and volunteer your time here at the Post?

Whatever they are, may this new year bring you joy and happiness!

WOW!  Looking at the “year in review”, the Post 10 Family did a lot.  Of course you all know the Post Family is all volunteers.  Most of those events were put together by only a few volunteers since no one wants to be on a “committee”!

Let’s change that in 2026.  This month begins a new chapter for the Post 10 Family.  Won’t you be part of this new chapter?  Come to meetings, volunteer - maybe even take one of the open positions on the staff.

I know, you’ve paid your dues, and thank you for that, but we really need you to get more involved.  The more involved you are, the more the “Family” can do for you. Remember the dances here?  Haven’t had one in quite a while now.  Why?  Participation!  We want to do more, just don’t have the participation or volunteers to pull it all together.

Do you know any younger folks that are eligible to become part of the Post 10 Family?  Send them our way!

One more thing - Give someone a call please, to see how they are doing or to just say “Hi there”.

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.
