The Veterans Day Car Show/Bake Sale was very successful. We made $1,161 from the bake sale; all the proceeds stay at the Veterans Home. We appreciate your support.

There are lots of opportunities for bakers in December:

• December 9, we need cookies for cookie trays which are delivered to our schools, the Veterans Home and many other organizations in appreciation of all they do for our community.
• We will be packing fudge, cookies and/or peanut brittle for care packages which will be mailed on December 11th to our troops. Please package them in snack bags.
• The lumunaria beach walk will be December 14 and we will need pecan pie muffins.

Membership is our most important program, since without members, we cease to exist. Tell your non-member friends about us, what we do and encourage them to join if they are eligible. Carry a membership application in your purse. You, as a member, know we have some really good things going on at the Post, and we always have a lot of fun, so spread the word. As of November 22, we have 247 paid members, which puts us at 70% of our final goal.

Remember, door cards change January 1, 2020 and you will not be able to get a new one without a 2020 card. I will be out of town from 12/25/19-through 1/2/20, so if you don’t renew by December 24, you may have to wait until I return to get your new card.

Care Packages – Marty Novak
We sent 22 Care Packages in November. Thanks to the ROTC and everyone who came to help with the packing. A special thank you to Steph and Joyce who help me with the shopping, to Moe for taking care of recycling the cardboard, and to Tennie who makes up the address labels each month. We couldn’t continue to do this worthy project without the help of all of you.

This month we switched from the Priority Mail Medium boxes to the Priority Mail Large boxes. This allowed us to send almost as much in half as many boxes. AND the Post Office gives an almost $2 discount on the large boxes with an APO or FPO address. This saved us AND the Legion almost $250 over what it would have cost if we had continued to use the medium size boxes.

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.

If you know of anyone who is deployed, please give us their name and address and we will be happy to send them monthly packages for as long as they are deployed.

We’ve already started baking and freezing cookies for our December packages. We try to make those boxes Christmassy and special filled with goodies from home along with the salsa and chips. If you plan to make cookies/candy/fudge for the December packages, remember that they are traveling. This means sturdy cookies rather than fragile cut out cookies.

Come join us for our next Care Package packing day, Wednesday. December 11th. We start setting up at 10:00 and are ready to pack shortly after that. Anyone is welcome to come help us pack. It’s lots of fun. Come join us.

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..
