MONTHLY MEETINGS 2014

Dear Comrades

I hope that you and your families have a Merry Christmas and a Happy

New Year. Now we start a new year.

It was a good year at Post 10147, but sadly we lost several of our good

members and friends. This coming year will be a busy one. We have a lot

on our schedule. Pleases read the calendar for 2014 in this newsletter for

dates and times.

Our big event is scheduled for April 22, 2014. By popular demand, we are

bringing back the Central Florida Rat Pack. It is a new show and a good

one. In addition to the show there will be dancing and a dinner. We are

starting now to sell tickets for a drawing.. First prize will be a large slim

screen TV, 1080P with HD. The second prize will be a smaller TV plus

there will be other prizes. Seating will be first come, first served. Al-

though there is not a bad seat in the house.

In closing please pray for our service men and women to come home

safely to their families.

United we stand and God bless America.

Your Commander
