       A Message from Post Commander, Bill Wilkinson

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

Greetings everyone!

The Holiday Season is well underway.  There are gifts to give, parties to attend and visit family and welcome old and new friends.

It’s also the time of year when it seems like everyone is asking for donations for one thing or another.  And the Post 10 Family is no exception.

CASA is having a Pajama drive all this month and the Post is a collection point for them.

Toys for the Kids Give-Away in December are being collected here.  Also accepting monetary and or food (check with Penny on what she needs first though) for the holiday meals on Thanksgiving and Christmas days.  Any help for the other meals provided would be helpful too, like Veterans Day and Pearl Harbor.

Money and “stuff” are all really great, but if you can volunteer some of your time, that would be super!  Post 10 is supported by all volunteers and honestly, they are getting tired.  Some new blood is needed!  Can you help?

‘Tis the Season - to also be making those “Buddy calls.  Give ‘em a call to see how things are going or just to say hello.  A friendly voice goes a long way this time of year!

The picture on page two - do you know where this is?  Hint - it was in a 1999 film with Tim Allen.  Come to the meeting on the 3rd and be the first to ID the location and win a prize.

Wishing everyone a great holiday season and I hope to see you at the Post very soon.

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.
