       A Message from Post Commander, Bill Wilkinson

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

Greetings everyone!

Wow!  It's August already and your Post 10 Family is already making plans for  Fall and Winter events!

First up, the Patriot Day ceremony on Thursday, September 11th.  Very early in the planning stages and we sure could use your help!

Next will be the Veterans Day Parade.  We are again looking to enter a float.  We can use you help in the planning and decorating of it.  Also, if you have a pickup truck and want to pull the float, we can use you.

Not too far after that is Thanksgiving dinner here at the Post.  Any help, volunteers, donations of food and/or money is appreciated.

Christmas, yes, Christmas!  Looking for toy donations for the kiddos.  It's not too early to start looking for donations!  You can help!  Then, of course, is the Christmas dinner.  Again, any donations would be greatly appreciated.

OK, you read the article about the Honor Guard.  They really could use your help here.  They will provide the uniform and training.  Any takers?

If you’re wondering, we did have a picnic on the 26th.  Weather was great, but so was the food and attendance!  I would like to thank everyone involved with the setup and cleanup and of course, everyone that did attend.

Did you see the photo on page 2 under the Parking Lot Sale Canceled?  Come to the meeting on Monday, August 4th and when we get to “Anything for the Good of the American Legion”, be the first to tell me what the photo is of and win a prize!

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.
