FROM THE COMMANDER
I want to wish everyone the very best during the
upcoming holiday season.
This may seem to be a redundant at times but I
want to thank all of you that help out at the Post in
various ways in putting our Post on the path of
being the place to go for a great time your names
are too numerous to list but you all know who you
are. To those that came and helped clean our
kitchen - Thank you!
Mac McGuinness has stepped up and will be going to school to be our
next Service Officer. Thank you, Mac.
1 November our Post is now non-smoking. A reminder that the Post
now accepts credit cards, so there is no need to go to the bank before
coming to the Post.
Important: Because of the upcoming holidays, please have your
membership dues for 2017 paid by December 20th or your new card
may not be received by the 1st of January! Do not be one of those that
will have to wait for their new membership card to arrive.
If you want to volunteer, just come to the Post on the day you want to
help. Experience is not required!
Please check the monthly calendar as a lot of events are scheduled and
we would like to see you here.
If you have a suggestion please either call, email, or place it in the
suggestion box. All items are reviewed and placed under consideration.
See you at upcoming events.
For God and Country

FROM THE A.L.R. DIRECTOR Well we have survived another Florida summer and now it is time to get out and ride. Pretty soon our friends from up north will be coming for the winter and we will be at full strength. The Riders have several members that have stopped coming into the Post because of the cigarette smell. Hopefully after the Post goes no smoking on No-vember 1st some of them will be coming back.
Coming up in Nov and Dec we have the Veteran's Day Parade on No-vember 11th, we will meet at the Post and ride to the staging area, KSU at 9am.
On Nov 19th we have the Dice Run for Barbra Taylor to help her with her medical bills. The plan is coming together, we need volunteers to man the stops and donations for the Chinese Auction
In Dec., the Riders have voted to put up Christmas lights on the exterior of the Post.
At our upcoming meetings we will be working to come up with rides that members want to do

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Let me begin by thanking everyone who participated in or at-
tended the POW/MIA Ceremony. It turned out to be a great
event. Looking forward to next year.
I want to encourage our members who have not paid their
2016/2017 dues, please do so as soon as possible. We are re-
questing that you have your dues into Janice Vilgats no later than
December 10th. This will allow our dues to be processed before
the 31st. Remember that if dues are not current by January 1, 2017, you will not be
served in the canteen or be able to obtain a key card.
Ladies, we have a busy schedule for November and December. Please keep the Post
calendar handy. I hope that you ladies will come out and participate in the Veterans
Day Parade and ride in our trailer. There will be a luncheon that afternoon. Please
bring a covered dish.
Please come out on December 3rd and enjoy our Tree Lighting and Eggnog Party.
Come out and help the Post bring in our holiday season. We are requesting finger
foods.
We will be holding our annual Girls State Bake Sale November 12th starting at 9 a.m.
We are asking for candy and baked goods
Many good things were discussed at our last meeting. I am looking forward to seeing
all of you at our November meeting, the second Thursday of the month. Executive
Board at 6:30 and General meeting at 7:00 p.m. We need you and your ideas.
For God and Country,
Billie Pierce
President
From the Auxiliary 1st Vice/Membership
To all Auxiliary members who chose to pay their 2017 dues/renewals in
December. I will be out of town over the Holidays and if you want your
card before the end of the year please have your dues to me by Decem-
ber 15th. If I received them after that date you will not get your new
membership card until after January 6th, 2017.
I am writing to let you know also after December 31, 2016 you must
have a 2017 year card to get a new Post door card or be served at the
bar.
For God and Country,
Janice Vilgats
