It is with much sadness we mourn the loss of Arlea Hadley. Her husband Vince and family are in our prayers. We also send up prayers for Donnie Polson as well as Linde for a speedy recovery.
After much consideration we have chosen to remain with our current gaming company.
Our Sons of the American Legion and our new cook has cranked out some fantastic food. Let’s not forget the many volunteers who complete numerous tasks that make this post great.
Finance Officer – Ellen Penington
Since I am writing this before months end, August’s financial figures haven’t been achieved yet so I will comment on the July figures.
However, at the time I am writing this the August figures appear to be very closely in line with July. In July the bar had a net ordinary income of $3872 and was very much in line with the June figures. The kitchen has improved somewhat, bringing in a net income of$1075. Post operations had slightly lower expenses for the month of July than usual.
There were no unusual expenses that we didn’t plan for. The Post continues on a strong financial footing.
