Commander's Corner

       A Message from Post Commander, Bill Wilkinson

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

Greetings everyone.

The latest edition of the newsletter is shorter than usual!  I'm looking for ideas on what you would like to see in this newsletter.  Your thoughts or articles can be emailed to bill.wilkinson@albanypost10.org or stop by the Post and we can talk, please.  Deadline for article submission is the 15th of the month.

This Saturday, May 31st, there will be volunteers from the community coming to do some yard clean-up around the Post property starting about 9 am.  This would be a great volunteer activity for you and your kids, grand kids, friends, family - well, you get the idea.  We can use all the help we can get.  Republic has donated a dumpster and 60 yards of mulch to help with this project.  Can you help?

Saturday, June 14th is Flag Day.  Post 10 is again having our annual Flag Day Ceremony.  This year it is starting at 4 pm in the Post parking lot.  Everyone is invited, and this does include the community folks as well, not just Post members!  Tell all your friends and neighbors. Following the ceremony, the Sons of the American Legion Squadron 10, will be selling "Legion Hot Dogs".  These are 1/4 lb. hot dogs and will include a bag of chips and a soft drink for the low, low price of only $5.00.  Again, everyone is invited!

Can you help get the word out to the community please?  Thursday, July 10th, the Wall of Honor will be in our back yard at the Eleanor Hackleman Pickle Ball court.  The opening ceremony will start at 10 am.  The Wall will be on display through the 13th.  For more information on the Wall of Honor, visit https://vetshelpingvetshq.com/wall-of-honor/

There are still positions that need filling at the Post. Finance Officer, 2nd Vice Commander, Sargent at Arms, Honor Guard Commander and Honor Guard members.

You want more from your Post?  Become an active participant and a Volunteer!  You can make a difference!

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.
