       A Message from Post Commander, Bill Wilkinson

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

Happy 4th of July everyone!

This is going to be another busy month here at the Post.  The usual House, Post membership and Sons meetings, (no Auxiliary meeting this month).  The ALR is having their R.O.M.P. (Riding on Military Pride) the 10th  - 13th .  As part of this, the Wall of Honor will be across the street in the pickleball court.  Opening ceremony will begin at 10 am on Thursday, 10 July.  You should try to be here for that!

Saturday, the 26th we’re saving the day for the Post Family picnic over at the Eleanor Hackleman Park (across the street from the Post).  For this to happen though, we really need some of you to participate in the planning!  Please, come to the planning meeting on Monday, 7th at 4:45 pm. You can make this happen!

Question for you - How do we get younger people to join the Legion Family?  Any thoughts?  Opening the bar is NOT the answer either!  Besides, we don’t have the volunteers to run it!  I welcome your in-site and thoughts on membership.

Actually, if you have ideas on what we can do to get the membership more involved with Post Family activities, I’d be more than happy to talk about it with you.

Another reminder, still looking for a Post Finance Officer and someone to be the Honor Guard Commander.  Also need new members for the Honor Guard.  Uniforms and training will be provided!

Have a safe 4th of July holiday!  Have you done your “Buddy” checks?

Respectfully,

Bill Wilkinson, Commander

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.
