From The Commander . . . Those who missed the Robinhood Festival sure missed a great time. Many old friends reminisced and visited all afternoon in the backyard of the Post while the SAL hosted the Annual Steve Stout Memorial Horseshoe Tournament! Thanks to Louie Cross for the nice job re-varnishing the Post 56 sign. His volunteer work is greatly appreciated. It seems like there is always something to fix or replace in our building. Dave Kaufman Notes From President Georgia - Membership renewal notices for 2009 have been mailed out by National Headquarters! Please don't leave your notice laying in a pile of papers until fall. Renew your annual dues now and help our Unit make goal early this year! We had a great convention in Albany this year! The weather was warm and a good time was had by all. At convention we could still use more members to act as chairpersons for programs. Come to the September meeting (on the 3rd at 7PM) and join in on our activities and learn what the American Legion Auxiliary is all about. The auction committee still needs volunteers to help with this annual event that is coming up fast! Any and all assistance will be welcomed and is appreciated. If you can help please contact Velma (503-625-7537) or Melanie (503-727-3265) and keep those donations coming in! Georgia Delozier |
