Commander's Message
Commander Puckett reports:
Finally, it looks like Spring is upon us as the snow has melted and some flowers have started to open up. Let’s just hope that this will not be an “April Fools” joke on us! The month of April holds a couple of “Birthdays” and major United States events. April 14th is the Air Force Reserve birthday and April 23rd brings the Army Reserve birthday. April 6th is a significant date as on April 6, 1917, the United States entered World War I and April 6th also marks the end of the Persian Gulf War in 1991. The ending of the Vietnam War came about on April 30, 1975. Our Post Home is always in need of volunteers, so if you can spare a little time, let us know. We would be glad to have you! The next General Meeting is Tuesday, April 9th at 7:35PM. Be sure to attend to find out what is happening at your Post Home! Remember to keep our military men and women who are serving around the world in your thoughts and prayers.

Board of Directors
Chairman Dennis Kessler reports:
The BOD is working to finalize the Family Picnic plans. The Post Family Picnic will be Sunday, August 4th, 2024 at the Post Home. Time will be 1:00pm till 6:00pm, admission will be by ticket only.
The Post Home will Be Closed for Business & the Post Home will be used for the picnic that day. The Post will reopen for normal business the next day. Tickets will go on sale in June for this event. The last day to purchase tickets will be July 28th, 2024 or sooner, if sold out! Your Picnic Committee will be the Board of Directors.
The Handicappped cameras, door bells at the front and rear Handicapped ramps are up and a great addition. The ramps assist our members & guests with disabilities with easy access to the Post Home. We are looking into a chair lift for the stairwell to the basement. The unit will be donated to the post and we have to have it installed. This will make basement access easier for our membership.
Our March Work Detail was busy doing inside work to make our post shine. The next work detail is April 16th: Coffee, rolls, donuts will be on at 8:30 am, Work from 9:00am till noon followed by quick meeting to plan the next detail, some adult beverages and some laughs.
Hope to see you at the next Detail. Weather permitting, we may do some outside work: replacement of the lot bumpers, hoses, getting the grill ready, etc. We're always looking for help at the Post Home and everyone is welcome.
If you have ideas or would like to run or try something new, please talk to any Board Member or see any Post Officer. Any Ideas or thoughts, you can write them down and address it to the Board. I will read it at our meeting and I will contact you with the results.
Together We make Our Post the best in all of Erie County!
God Bless America & God Bless Are Troops!
