Wow, December is here already? We have 231 paid members for 2019, but there are a lot of you who need to renew your membership this month. New door cards will be required on January 1st, but you will have to show a current 2019 membership card to receive one, so get those renewals in ASAP. I’m happy to report we have 22 new members so far this year. 3 of these are Juniors, so we now have 5 active Junior members and a couple waiting for paperwork. Continue to bring in those new members and check our calendar for happenings at the Post. There is always something going on! Have a great holiday and be safe.

Care Packages-Marty Novak
In November we sent 36 Care Packages to our deployed service men and women. Thanks to all who came to help. And thanks to Captain Joe Baca and his JROTC for their help. We always appreciate these young people helping us with this project. One day we may be sending packages to some of them.

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.

Our next Care Package day is December 12th. These are very special Christmas packages filled with home-made cookies and candies, candy canes, caramel corn and lots of special goodies. It looks like we will be sending 44 boxes this month, so we need lots of bags of cookies and goodies. If you are bringing cookies, they should be sturdy cookies that will travel well and packaged 2 or 3 to a snack size zip lock bag.

We start packing as soon as we finish setting out the supplies and everything is ready…about 10:15 and we are usually finished by about 11:00. Anyone is welcome to come help us pack. It’s lots of fun. Come join us.

Cell Phones for Soldiers
We are no longer collecting cell phones. Homeland security will only allow me to send 3 cell phones at a time rather than sending them in the medium flat rate box. This is making it too costly to continue.

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.
