What an awesome month February has been. Sold out 80 Valentine’s Day dinners. Our volunteers in the kitchen have excelled yet again. All of our participation in these activities is what makes this a great family to belong to.
The open auction was just flat out fun, and profitable. Thank you TD Knull for the outstanding performance as auctioneer. To all who donated the goods to be sold, job well done. These types of successful activities are what we need to keep our Post a wonderful club to belong to.
Remember it takes all members of every unit within our club to make this a great Post.
The suggestions I’ve received regarding Karaoke has been turned over to the activities committee for further review as it is their decision to make those changes.
The new business hours for the Post are a result of discussion & vote by our Executive Committee which, as we know, is the board elected officers of Post 44.
