Commander's Corner

       A Message from Post Commander, Bill Wilkinson

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

Greetings everyone!

It’s hard to believe that it’s Autumn already!  Yep, the first day was September 21st.

Hey, have you paid your 2026 dues yet?  

There are good things happening this month.

First of all - the regular meetings.  I do wish more of you would/could come to them.  Last month at the Post meeting, the picture in the newsletter was identified (Devils Tower)  and a prize was given. This month should be super easy, but you have to be at the meeting to win!

This is the time of year we really need your support.  Donations for the Kids Christmas Give-Away are being accepted.  The more you donate, the less the Post 10 Family has to buy.  OK, so that is in December, but really, it’s not that far away!  As you are probably aware, the Post (Club), feeds people for free on special occasions.  For example, after the Patriot Day ceremony, everyone was invited in for a continental breakfast. Before the Veterans Day Parade, participants can come in for a continental breakfast and after the parade, come back for the community  spaghetti feed.  Let’s not forget Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.  These all cost something!  Your donations help make it all possible, too, whether it be monetary or food items (turkeys, hams etc., but ask Penny before giving food though).  Can you help?  ‘Tis the Season!

Thanks to a generous donation, the Honor Guard will have recruiting ads on the radio!

Again, ‘Tis the Season!  Give someone a call just to see how they are doing!

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.
