Commander’s Comments:
Greeting Comrades!
I hope you all have a pleasant holiday season and going into a new year. As we head into 2025, we reflect our past and look to the future with great expectations. The post is in good shape and looking great with thanks to all the folks who have work hard this past year and hope to continue to make it better this coming year. All the hard work is appreciated.
We will be starting back our dinners in January. We invite all members to check out the calendar, come out and enjoy one of our dinners or to take a chance and play one of our raffles or drawings. Check out the delicious drink specials every month. Come out and support the Post with their events.
We are changing out card keys again. Please see our bartenders to swap your old ones. We have completed one part of our skeet/trap range and will be open. Come join us for the monthly clay shoots and have a blast of a time. Reminder that 2025 Range dues are payable by seeing one of the bartenders
Membership is gaining traction, but we still need everyone’s assistance in recruiting or getting members current. District and State are pushing hard for membership and needs us. If you know a fellow veteran and meets the criteria, talk to them and invite them to join. Any questions, please see our Membership Service Officer, Dane Glander or one of our officers.
Any questions or concerns about the Post, come to me and we will see what can be done.
Happy and Prosperous New Year to all!!
Commander Brian Tucker

Happy New Year All,
One more year is behind us. No matter what holiday’s you celebrated, I hope that it was a happy one and that you enjoyed it with family and/or friends.
It appears that many changes are before us with this new year ahead. Many people in the US are still struggling every day. There are people in North Carolina still recovering from the tornados and flooding. There are those who are homeless, both adults and children, who will be struggling with the winter cold ahead. We also have conflicts in the Middle East and Europe with many civilians caught in the middle of the crisis. Please keep these people in your prayers. If you can help with donations, please send what you can to the organizations that you trust to pass them on forward. Every little bit does help.
I hope that everyone has a happy, healthy, and prosperous year going forward.
God be with you all.Chris Novelli

Dear Auxiliary Sisters & Brothers,
Happy New Year! Membership dues are due, be sure to pay your annual membership dues. Dinners are back, come join us and support our VFW! Check the website/calendar for dates and times. We are proud to announce that we have donated $1500 to Sophie’s Companions for Veterans, $1000 to Tunnel To Towers, $1000 to W.I.S.H. (Warriors in step with horses), $1000 to Honor Flight, $1500 to Miami Valley Wounded Veterans, and $1500 to Battle Buddy. These donations were possible from the profit from our annual golf outing!
