Wow, it’s February already!

January flew by with the annual soup cook-off and our other regular activities. We also hosted the first ever “I-10/I-25/I-40 American Legion Riders Regional Conference” for about 40 Riders who rode in from Texas and NM. They enjoyed our bar and grill and the atmosphere of our Post. Many thanks to the bartenders and kitchen staff who took such good care of our guests. I heard nothing but positive feedback. They were very impressed with our Post and expressed a keen interest in returning for future events.

February brings back our Super Bowl and Mardi Gras parties. Please support your Post by attending these and all the regular monthly activities. The more folks participating, the more successful the Post will be.
Remember to thank all our volunteers who make these events happen.

Mark your calendar to attend the next General Membership Meeting on Saturday, February 15th at 10:30 a.m.

December was a good month for the Post financially. Our downturn trend reversed in December. The bar had net income over $5000, gaming was up again and we were able to catch up on most of the items we deferred in November. Hopefully this upturn continues throughout the year.

A fun-filled February awaits us at Post 44. After our monthly Swap Meet on Saturday the 1st comes that long awaited Super Bowl!!!! Join us on Sunday the 2nd for a fun packed afternoon/evening beginning at 2:30 p.m. Not only will all the TVs be on, but the Guys vs Gals pool tournament will be played. Food available from the kitchen will be Hot Dogs with or without Chili, Bowls of Chili and Nachos. Wear your team colors even if they are not playing that day (like mine) and come root, root for your favorite. It is also the last chance to buy footballs, as the winner will be drawn at half time.
