The inaugural event was not particularly well attended, primarily for the same reason the scheduled ride was cancelled; the weather was awful. We’re hopeful that the next installment will benefit from fine weather and positive word of mouth advertising.
Although we did not get any new member applications, Joyce Hudgins the Auxiliary Poppy chairman did manage to collect $18 in donations. Below is a photo of our table setup. Everybody was very complimentary and, as you can see, even the “Cowboy Poet” herself seems to be smiling down on us.
As planned we were able to display our United States, New Mexico and NMALR flags as well as the Post 44 banner. The POW/MIA table complete with an explanation of the ceremony got quite a bit of attention. The OWW tri-fold and the Poppy boards were helpful as we continue to try to educate our neighbors about the various programs supported by the Legion.
Finally, during preparation for the Post 44 10th anniversary celebration Bob Nellis provided us with some photos from the early days of Chapter 5. So, in recognition of those who came before, below is a group photo from September of 2006. Chapter 5 will present a drink token to whoever can correctly identify the most people in the photo.
Our monthly meetings are held at Post 44 on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30 p.m. – See you on January 8, 2013.
