Auxiliary President- Linda Nenno- 575-642-6164
We want to encourage people to come out and enjoy the activities at the Post, but there are a few things you to remember. It is state law that you MUST have a picture ID whenever you enter an establishment that need serves alcohol. In addition, you must have your American Legion membership card on your person or you must be signed in as a guest. The SID inspectors have been making the rounds and if we are found to be in violation of these rules, it could cost the Post a lot of money. Please be proud to show your card to the bartenders and/or door greeters when they ask to see it. And remember, they are people also, so treat them kindly. Many times the Post is very busy and you might have to wait a few minutes to get service. For the next few months we will have someone at the door on Wednesday nights to check cards, IDs and sell 50/50 tickets tournament fund. Proceeds of the sales will go to our annual golf tournament.
Membership— Linda Nenno
The 2017 membership cards are here and I have started Early Bird renewals. Get your card renewed by September 30, and you will have a chance for a free membership for this year. So far we have 62 members who have renewed, or joined. If you know someone who is eligible for membership, give them an application or have them contact me. 575-642-6164. Bring them into the Post as your guest and let them see for themselves what a good time we have.
Membership is our most important program, and I need everyone’s help to keep it going strong.

Care packages- -Marty Novak
In July we sent 26 Care Packages. Thanks to our American Legion Family for the help and support they give us, to the members, non-members, groups, organizations, and business of our community for their monetary donations, memorials and donations of supplies and to all those who come to pack the boxes. It takes us all to keep this project going.
A special thank you to our 3 young helpers…Linda Knull’s grandsons, Tyler and Logan, and Kathy Norton’s granddaughter, Joleen. Tyler and Logan have helped pack Care Packages a number of times. They also helped us prepare Comfort Bags for the local homeless veterans. This was the first time Joleen helped with Care Packages. They all did a wonderful job and are welcome to help any time they are available.
It is very hot over there right now and those neck coolers would be a very welcome addition to the Care Packages. Anyone willing to sew them? I have the pattern if you need it. We always do Care Packages on the 2nd Wednesday of the month. Our next packing day is August 8. Some of us arrive at 10 to start setting things up and making boxes. We start filling the boxes about 10:30 and we are usually finished by 11. Anyone is welcome.
Cell Phones for Soldiers
We are still collecting used cell phones. These phones are sent for recycling and provide calling cards for our Troops. There is a collection container in the entry way of the Post.
What is a Veteran: A Veteran…whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve…is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to, and including his/her life.” That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today, who no longer understand that act..
