Commander – Al Norton
September was a very good month. We are in stable financial condition.
A special thanks to Bob Acre and his helpers. All four units of Post 44 were involved in the Golf Tournament. That my friends was a great family effort. Each unit earned @2141.00 for their work. This year was the most successful Tournament to date. Again thank you everyone.

The 9/11 Ceremony went well. We would like to see more spectators. Let’s do better next year. The water and Gatorade donation to the 1st responders in Elephant Butte and T or C was very good. Thanks to everyone for their efforts.

We are still looking for someone to install our new front door.

The sign out front is still under repair. Thank Bob Acre for his considerable work on this project.
Don’t forget to get your calendars to see what is happening in October!

We are back to Dinner and Dancing every Wednesday. We do need as many people that we can get to keep it going. Come on over and have some fun.

Remember to pray for the Troops our Veterans and their families.

God Bless America!

Finance Officer- Ellen Penington
The Post continues to operate on sound financial footing. The highlight of the past month was the hugely successful golf tournament which generated enough revenue that each unit of the Legion was presented a check for $2141.00. The bar generated $4003 in net income in August which was slightly above the $3441.06 it generated in July. We purchased a new door for the front entrance for $900 which was a significant savings over the $4000 plus cost we were quoted by an Albuquerque firm.

Activities Committee – Linda Ross
Yes, there is a new name up there. After many years of serving on this committee, Kathy Norton has decided to step away. We certainly appreciate all her time and efforts and she will be greatly missed.

October finds our calendar full of activities. The 1st and 3rd Sundays are taken up by the pool tournaments and 2nd and 4th we get to enjoy pounders and pizza specials while cheering on our favorite football team. Mondays are LADIES DAY. We get a discount on our drinks and on the 8th of the month we have our very own 9-ball pool tournament. Our $2.00 Tuesdays continue with the addition of a $3.00 “no shell taco”. Our Wednesday dinners and music are back in full swing with Jim Corrons, Sue Barr and Constance. Bunco is continuing on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays and on the 1st and 3rd, we are playing games. Bring your favorite game board or cards and come join in the fun. Don’t forget Friday’s Fun Pool, grill and karaoke. Our monthly breakfast and bake/book sale continue on the 2nd Saturday.

Dig out those costumes, because on Halloween, Wednesday Oct. 31, we are having a party in addition to our usual dinner and music by Bob Acre. There will be a costume contest and back by popular demand is Name that Tune with many more prizes. Be sure come join in the fun.

Our Activities Committee will meet on the 16th at 1:30. Anyone is welcome to join us and new ideas are always welcome.

Don’t forget to check your calendars for all the details and times for everything.
