September was another good month here at the Post. Lots of things to do, and plenty of good times shared.
The highlight of the month was the American Legion Family 2nd Annual Golf Tournament. Special thanks to the two Linda’s – Amdal and Nenno – for their efforts in organizing the event. Kudos to everyone who volunteered their time, talents and efforts to make it a huge success. A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!!
This month promises to just as good. Hope you all find time to come out and support the Post and enjoy everything planned in this month’s calendar. Your support enables us to assist our fellow veterans, local charities, students, and youth activities. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, Melanie Millsap, for taking on the task of preparing our newsletter.
Remember, the General Membership meeting is on Saturday, Oct 19, at 1030 a.m. Thank you for all you do, and see you at the Post

Finance Officer – Dr. G. Vincent Barrett
The financial condition of the Post continues to remain sound. The months of July and August were both good months for both gaming and the bar/kitchen. By good I mean we did not lose money. For the two months combined we covered all costs including the outlay for a complete new air conditioning unit and managed a profit of $1000. The bar and kitchen are holding their own while pull tabs and gaming are having a very strong showing. Although we only turned a small profit the benefits to our Members is still large. All indicators are that we are looking at a financially reasonably summer and fall with no major financial problems. Our overall capital position is solid and we are meeting all financial obligations on time. See you at the Post.
