Newsletter – December 2018

Commander – Al Norton
Ho! Ho! Ho! Its Christmas time. It is not all about jolly ole St. Nick, remember we are celebrating the birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Everyone join us on the 15th for the Post & Employee Christmas Party. Don’t forget to bring a gift to participate in the white elephant gift exchange, this is always lots of fun. Nothing too expensive please.
We don’t have a General Membership meeting in December, our next meeting will be January 19th 2019.

Make sure your membership is renewed for 2019. If you don’t have a 2019 card you can’t get a new door card on January 1st.

A special thanks and prayer for those who are serving, have served and everyone who supports our country.
See ya all next year!

Finance Officer — Ellen Penington
We are in the middle of our second quarter of operation for this fiscal year and continue in the black. The kitchen has significantly improved its bottom line and the bar continues to be a key revenue maker. The Post employee Christmas party is coming up and $200 was allocated for the cost of employee drinks, a small token of gratitude for the hard work and dedication they put in throughout the year. A happy Holiday Season to all of you!

Activities Committee – Linda Ross

December already? Yes, it is here and we are ready to send the year out with pool, football, games, music, dancing, karaoke and of course parties and food.

Pool tournaments continue on the first and third Sundays and every Friday. Football plays on Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays with special prices on food and drinks. Tuesdays showcase $2.00 tacos or $3.00 taco salads plus those $2.00 drinks. Wednesdays feature delicious dinners, live bands and dancing. Thursdays are $2.00 Margaritas and game days with Bunco on the second and fourth and various games on the first and third. Bring your game and join us. Fridays besides the pool, we have the grill and Karaoke. Our monthly breakfast is on the second Saturday morning and come visit our campfire at the Luminaria Walk that evening.

Our Post Christmas party will be on the 15th at 5:00 with a pot luck and white elephant gift exchange. After that Karaoke will begin.

New Year’s Eve will find us celebrating on New York time starting at 6:00 including a pot luck dinner and Karaoke.

Speaking of Karaoke, are you interested in learning how to be a KJ (karaoke jockey)? The Post has purchased our own equipment and need some guest KJs. If you would like to be a star, have some fun and make a little money on a couple of Friday nights a month, see Char. Your Post Needs You.

If you have questions pertaining to any of our activities, feel free to contact me. Our next committee meeting is on the 17th at 1:30p.m. We appreciate new faces and ideas.

Be sure to check out the calendars for times and other details and come join us.
