Commander

Comrades,

Thank you for electing me as your Commander. I look forward to having a wonderful year; and also look forward to your support with up coming events.

Congratulations to all of our Post Officers, Ladies Auxiliary, M.O.C., M.O.C.A., and House Committee.

The Post has a new Surgeon, so please say “Hi” to David Kelly when you see him around the Post. Thanks for stepping up, David.

Now let’s give a big “Congrats” to our very own Glenn Holman who has been elected as our 2nd District Commander.

Congrats also to Commander Penning and the individuals who assisted him in bringing in new members last year.  Because of this, Post 3160 has made All-American once again!

CONGRATS! Making All-American is an honor and not every Post has the privilege of making it. GOOD JOB, POST 3160!

The State Convention was great this year. I hope everyone who went had a good time. They had elections and our new State Commander is Hal Roesch from Post 3219 (Phoebus); so when you see him around here, please tell him CONGRATS!

Memorial Day: Thank you to all who as sisted and brought in food. Great turn-out; and Thanks to Lee Ralph and Lil Kiley – the food they brought in was fabulous! Again, “Thank You”!

Some dates to keep in mind:

4th of July Dinner: (FREE BBQ Pork and the fixin’s, with entertainment to fol low). The Boy Scouts will be assisting with a Flag Retirement ceremony just prior to the dinner; and – Oh! I almost forgot – I still need a bugle player! If you can play, please show up that evening and play for us – it would be wonderful!

I will not be in putting entertainment in this block in the future; how ever, it will be in the News letter. But here are a couple of dates:

11 July: Jack Bateman Band – good ole country.

25 July: Michael Clark “Starring Tracy Clark”. If you didn’t come last time, you missed an AWESOME SHOW.

All entertainment will start at 7:30 p.m.

I also noticed that a bunch of you have stepped up to the plate to assist with - Friday Night Dinners again.  THANK YOU! We have a great club; but with out all of us enjoying ourselves and giving a helping hand once in awhile, it wouldn’t be that way.

The next Post Meeting is 10 July at 7:00 p.m., so please stop in.

Also, don’t for get about July 19th – we will have the Five Families’ “Crab Fest” and it’s in Ocean View Park. If you like crab and shrimp, or even hot dogs and sausage, it’s the place to go. Plus, it’s supporting our clubs.

“Welcome Aboard” to all of our New Members. Stop in and introduce yourselves to your “Comrades”.

Yours, in Comradeship,

... Melissa Van Wagner
