 The holiday season is fast approaching.  We lots of activities planned!  Remember to join us for the fun and support of our great club!

Our general membership meeting for November is the last one for the year.   December is just to busy for meetings.

Those of you who go out of town for the Holidays please be safe.  We will be waiting for your safe and happy return.

God Bless everyone & God Bless America!

Charity & Education: 

For September, there was $2,462.67 in Charity and Education Revenues from Gaming donated to the community.
Yippee, by the time you read this, the gaming room should have a shiny new heating and air conditioning unit system, thanks to a grant from Home Depot and proceeds from pull tabs.  We are sorry for the inconvenience of gaming room closure, but hope you enjoy the benefits.

Finance Officer– Bill Conklin

The month of September ended fair, we ended up with a profit of over 3,ooo dollars. Gaming is holding steady but down from previous years. We are coming on the winter months and our  snowbird visitors hoping this might help some. The officer’s and staff are giving it all they have, to keep operating in the black. If you have any suggestions we are now using the suggestion box and read each and everyone of them at the E-board meeting. For now that’s all I have and hope to see you around the post.

I am pleased to say our Post is doing well at this time.  This has been accomplished by Great efforts from the Legionnaires, Auxiliary and the Sons of the American Legion.  We are a great family!

I want to take this opportunity to thank Jack Hodges for his continued support of our Post.  It seems like every time we discuss that we need something, miraculously it appears, Thank You Jack!

Our 911 Vigil and Dinner for 1^st responders went very well.  Thank you all for your support.  Especially Thank you 1^st responders for being here when we need you!

The golf tournament was a lot of fun.  I hurt like crazy when it was done, but well worth it.  Linda Nenno, you’re great, another outstanding performance.  Don’t forget Gene Hill is the best Brisket smoker in the county!

National has raised Legionnaires dues by $5.00 effective January 1 2016.  If you pay 2016 dues before January 1 it will still be $35.00.

SID, the alcohol police has visited us twice recently.  They can drop in anytime they please.  It is the law that everyone enters any establishment that sells alcohol have valid picture ID.  It is also a requirement everyone entering our Post must have a current membership card or be signed in. If you forget your card at home have someone sign you in as a guest.  I realize it can be a pain but we do not want to get into trouble.

We are still the most fun club in the state!

God Bless us all & God Bless America!

Charity & Education: 

Charity donations to our community generated by our gaming revenue for September was $2,582.87.  If you are aware of non-profit organizations or youth programs that could use some financial help, contact Linda Amdal, Gaming Manager.
Also, Aries Gaming, the company we lease our gaming machines from, has generously offered to sponsor a “Lucky Diamond” shindig during our Halloween  Party.  Each attendee will receive one raffle ticket for a chance to win one of the great prizes provided by Aries Gaming.  (One prize per person.)  This promotion is not related to the Gaming Room and the raffle is open to all members and their guests.
