Giving is a great feeling! I want to thank the American Legion family members who purchased and wrapped presents for the needy elementary students in T or C. And then what happened? Our family members rallied again to donate and assemble food baskets for families in need, to have a great holiday meal. Again, thank you all and God Bless our American Legion Family!

Now in the New Year it is time to get serious and rally to make our Post a solid unit. We are still in trouble, but I am confident with everyone’s support we can solve our shortfall. Participation in the clubs activities is very important. Your suggestions and or donations will be greatly appreciated.

Due to surgery there is no report this month, Bill will be back better than ever next month.

Tis the season to be Jolly. I want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday!

Those of you traveling have a wonderful time with whatever adventure you are engaging in, but most of all be careful and return home safe and sound.

Members and friends staying in town, join us at the Post for our planned activities or just come by, relax and chat with a friend.

See you next year and again be safe and Happy Holidays!

Finance Officer– Bill Conklin

Like to start of wishing everyone a great Holiday season, hope all your wishes come to you. OCTOBER ended up with a $3000.00 loss. This was due to gaming being down and bar revenue was also down. Good thing kitchen was up, so bringing dinners back was a good thing. Year to date we are still in the black for about $3500.00. We are hoping for a good month of December, with the time of cheer. The staff is watching everything to cut costs. Hope to see you at the meeting, we need your input and suggestions to better the post. I’ll see you all around the post.
