Commander's Corner

       A Message from Post Commander, Bill Wilkinson

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

Greetings everyone.

We made it through another month!

All the months of work  planning for the Patriot Day Remembrance Ceremony paid off!  It went off without a hitch and the comments were all positive.  Some even said it was the best one in years!  Thanks go out to the committee for a job well done!

This month, we are again recognizing those very special 1st Responders with award banquets for Fire/EMS and Law Enforcement.

This month is also the last PALS Dinner (Potato Bar, $15.00) of the year!  Yep, Saturday, 17th is the last one.  You should really plan on attending.

The Holiday Season is nearly here.  Veterans Day Parade - we have a float again this year and you can help decorate it.  Thanksgiving is just around the corner and so is Christmas (less than 90 days!).  The Kids Christmas Give-Away is also in December.

Some things you can do this season.

• Call a friend/buddy and see how they are doing.

• Donate some time to Post 10 to help prepare for the “big” events.

• Donate monetarily if you can.  Food and gifts are getting more and more expensive every year.

• Make an attempt to come to your meetings.  There are still open officer positions in the Family that could use your help too.

Hope to see you at the Post soon.

Respectfully,

Bill Wilkinson
