I am now six months into my term of office as Commander. We have initiated a few new activities. Thursday night is Fun Night which starts at 5:30 pm. Budweiser products are $1.00 all day and bar games are played. A dart board has been installed for your entertainment. Come on down to the Post and enjoy yourselves.

We still have dances once a month and bingo every Friday night. We need your support for these activities.

We are trying to bring an atmosphere of togetherness to the Post and it seems to be working. A big thanks to all comrades and Auxilliary members who have made this a success. I hope you will come down and be part of that.

I hope to see you at our meeting and events.
