VICE COMMANDER'S CORNER
1st Vice Commander
Greetings to all!
1st Vice Commander
Well another month has come and gone and February is upon us.
As of January 12th we are at 72.5% of our goal. I’m hoping that after
mailing out reminders this month we will be at 100% by March's meeting.
I want to remind those of you that have not renewed your membership that
as of February 1st, the bartenders will be checking membership cards to
see if you have renewed yours. They will let you know that you can renew
right there too.
As of February 15th though, you will be considered
delinquent and in accordance with the By-Laws, you will be a member 'not
in good standing'. If you are delinquent, you will not be served until
you renew your membership. Also, as a member 'not in good standing', you
will not be able to sign in someone else if you brought them to the Post
or have another member sign you in. Let’s not let it go that far and
renew your membership! If I get your payment before the next meeting, I
will hold your card for the meeting, or if you wish, I can leave it
behind the bar so when you come in the next time, you can pick it up
then. We also have elections coming up in the next few months and to
participate, you must be 'in good standing', which means, you must have
your 2012 membership card to participate in the elections. Please let me
know if I can help in any way, and let’s not forget to keep on
recruiting new members. A strong Post is a successful Post.
For
God and Country

Greetings everyone!
The year has finally arrived and we are
already going strong! If you noticed, the weekends during January were
pretty busy with hall rentals and other activities! I'm hoping that we
can keep it going through February and March. Things that are scheduled
for February already are our normal meals that everyone puts on.
Auxiliary Dinner on Friday night, the 10th (with kareoke), Jr. Auxiliary
on Friday night the 17th, our famous Champagne Breakfast on the Sunday
morning the 19th and the Sons Steak Dinner on Friday night the 24th
(with kareoke)! See calendar for all the events. We also have Pearl
Harbor Survivers on Sunday the 26th and Wrestling on Saturday night the
25th. Come out and help root for your favorite wrestler! Tickets are
only $10 at the door, but members can receive tickets for $8 with their
membership card! Come out and support a great activity!
In the
coming months, we have a few things that will also be going on at the
Post. The Marines will holding their annual 'Anthony Gale' dinner on the
17th, which is also St. Patricks day! So be ready for the all day corned
beef & cabbage too. In March, get your pots ready as I am trying to get
authorization to allow us the use of our parking lot for a Chili Cookoff!
The proceeds will go to help fund our delegates trip to Redding, CA in
June for the annual Convention. Mark July 21st on your calendar as this
is the annual 'Beach Bash' at the Naval Weapons Station.
As
always, we are always looking for volunteers to help out with the
dinners and functions that are put on at the Post. If you wish to help,
please check with the membership group putting on the event you wish to
help.

Happy 2012 everyone! So far, most everyone is doing well. A prayer
goes out to those who are not feeling well and are under the weather.
Get well soon so you can come back to the Legion. I try to visit the
Veterans at the VA when I can and they seem to really enjoy the
companionship. I need to shout out a Happy 77th Birthday Elvis (Jan
8th), if he had lived! Well, till we meet again, may God Bless everyone.
Amen,
Chaplin
In Him
