Commander's Message:
Commander KORDOS reports:
As I write this message for June, Memorial Day which was observed on May 26,2008 was a huge success, supported by a huge turnout along with the parade and the Ceremony in front of West Seneca Town Hall, followed by the hotdogs and hamburgers at the Post.
A reminder that Flag Day is June 14th. Please support the ceremony being held of burning of the Flag at our Home Post at 7:30 pm.
Special Treat – Jody Moran and her five (5) piece band is scheduled to entertain us at the post on Friday, June 20th, with a 8 pm start. Come and support the post. Jodi is also here every 1st Friday of the month and we have Eric Stetz for your entertainment on the second Friday of the month. 8 pm start also. Lets not forget Rod Galbraith and “Freedom” for your listening and dancing pleasure every Saturday Night.
This will be my last newsletter as Commander of Post 735. Thanks to all for your support.

Thursday May 29th marks the beginning of the food offerings at Post 735 from 5:00-8:00 pm.
This will NOT be the same as in previous years where everything was for $1.00. The menu will consist of chicken wings and fingers from the kitchen and 1/3 pound burgers or hot dogs from the grill. The proceeds of the effort will be to support the Post Home and will run throughout the summer. Many thanks to our teams of volunteers who stepped up to support our efforts. We look forward to seeing you there.

I would like to thank our Mothers Day crew for making Mothers Day a Great Success. The Son’s that spent the day at the GI Party at the Post Home together we made a difference. The SAL Members that helped at Armed Forces Day Cook out for all the paid Legion Members. Thank You Great Job!
We are starting a New Year in June if you haven’t paid 2008 dues please stop by the Post Home to do so. Also new cards for 2008-9 year will be in, in late June. You can also drop off your dues of $15.00 and your card will be sent to you in a timely fashion. We are looking forward to a fun but busy year. Support your Post and Squadron. God Bless Our Troops and God Bless America.
