POST 255 COMMANDER’S REPORT: Ed Spilman
Time for the October newsletter. I
would like to start off by thanking the
volunteers at the club for Parking and
Bingo at the CWC Fair, Sunday
breakfast every month, and all who
help out for the meals at the events at
the Post. About fifteen to twenty
people do most of the day to day,
week to week volunteering each
month. About fifty to seventy-five
volunteered for the fair. Out of 800
plus members, this group donates a lot
of hours. How about some of the
other 700 plus members stepping
up to volunteer for your Legion Post and help this group
out? It sure would be nice to see some new faces in the
volunteer group! Sorry I put it so bluntly, but it is true.
Now let us go to some other things. The annual Pheasant
Dinner is in October. Not sure of the date yet. To back up a
little bit, I just found out a couple days ago that Governor Dayton
declared September 16th “American Legion Day” in Minnesota-apparently not very well advertised. The Auxiliary’s 6th Annual
Craft and Bake Sale is on Saturday, October 4th. Get your
Christmas gifts early! Then we welcome a new season, autumn,
on the 22nd of October. The Post Early Bird dinner is
scheduled for October 16th for all paid up members. Fall
Conference is October 23rd – 25th at the Casino in Mahnomen,
for anybody that may want to attend.
October is a beautiful month! Take a drive and see all the
fall colors.
Ed Spilman, Post 255 Commander

AUXILIARY REPORT: Dolly Zitur
Hi Auxiliary Members,
With the cooler weather lately, it really
looks like we are headed for Fall. We
had our first meeting of this new
auxiliary year in September and I was
glad that so many members are
interested in what's going on and did
attend. Hopefully, we will see a lot more
of you in the future. Remember,
change your calendars and write down
that our meetings ae now on the
third Monday of each month, so plan on being there. Your
help is so needed.
October 20th is our Membership Dinner, Social Hour at 5:30
p.m. and dinner at 6:30 p.m., and we hope to see you there.
As you know, with your dues paid up for this coming year, the
meal is free. Our Girl State Citizens have been invited to attend
and tell us all about their experiences. We are anxious to hear
all about it. Also invited are the President of the American
Legion Auxiliary and our 6th District President, so come on
down and give them a Big Warm Brainerd Welcome. Let's all
be there so say “Hi” and “Welcome.” Remember to bring along
your juniors, as they are welcome also. Our membership
dinner is also a time to open up your wallet and help us
raise money for the “Gift Shop” held at all the VA's in
Minnesota. This is a special time when our hospitalized
veterans can come in and pick our gifts for their family
members, if they have any, which are then packed up and
shipped out to their loved ones for Christmas. Help us, help
these veterans, as it is a joy watching them pick out the gifts
with them knowing that their family will be remembered.
www.brainerdlegion255.org
We have a number of chairmanships open, so I hope you
will consider taking one of them. It's really nice to have our
whole slate full and everyone working together with us.
Our “Craft and Bake Sale” event will be held on October 4th
and we're looking for a full house. Not sure if there are any
tables left, but for a great breakfast and lunch, do stop in and
check over what's going on and do help us raise some money
for auxiliary.
See you on October 20th for a great meal and a good time!
~Dolly Zitur, Unit 255 Secretary/Treasurer
CHICKEN & CORN FEED REPORT:
Well, after the corn ripened and the
chickens got a little fatter, the Past
Commanders’ Chicken and Corn Feed
attendance was down some from past
years. We want to express our
“THANKS to all who attended.” We
would like to “express our “THANKS” to Post 255 for the use of their
facilities. As you well know, the greater share of our Fund Raiser goes
to support Post 255. A special THANKS to Bud Sedlachek for
furnishing the corn and Tim Aune for cooking the corn; we
appreciate your help. We had a large number of Legionnaires and
Auxiliary Members helping out this year, and we THANK YOU for your
help-- corn pickers, huskers, table setters, cooks, servers, clean-up
crew, ticket sellers-- the list could get longer--Don Hauck , Duane
Berg, Chuck Extrand, Aubrey Fillbrandt, Roger Bierman, Buzz
Bereuter, Dewayne Collins, Fred Fisher, Robert and Judi
Harting, Richard and Betty Hayes, Wayne Hayes, Andrea
Holmes, Viv Kope, Dee Severson, and Tom Swanson. Yvonne
and I would like to express our “THANKS” for the cooperation we
have received from the Past Commanders and all who attended these
dinners through the years.
~Jay and Yvonne Beebe
2014 CAMP-O-REE REPORT:
This is the time of the year
when we again “THANK ALL”
who have helped in getting the
Camp-O-Ree ready for another
year. We were down in numbers;
however, we think we will do as
well as last year. We will finalize everything and present a check at
the Fall Conference to Wayne Gilbertson, our Legionville President.
Our “THANKS” go out to all the workers we had in preparation in
getting “The Legionville Learning Center” ready for the 2014
Camp-O-Ree. With your help in moving items and cleaning the
Center it turned out looking very nice for the incoming Camp-O-Ree
supporters. Again, our “THANKS” go out to all of the workers we had
in getting ready for and working at the Camp-O-Ree. A special
thanks to Pam Weiss for helping in getting our Gambling License
and a doing an audit on gambling at the close of the Camp-O-Ree.
Also, a special “Thanks” to all the workers: Duane Berg, Scott
Broekemeir, Becky Olson, Jim Falconer, Tara Capes, Dee
Severson, Karen Ferrari, Judi and Bob Harding, Dan Barto,
Stacie and Dan Bednarek, DJ Weiss, Jerry “Chick” Lyscio, Gina
Keehr, Roger and Eloise Bierman, May Fort, Lori Guin, Sherrie
Bauch, Jerry and Bonnie Johnson, Terry Morgan, and Erica
Bybee. We would also like to “THANK” Roy Krueger” for the
support we received from him. We had a large number of comments
from the Campers on how nice the inside looked. We could not have
made it looking great on the inside without all your help. Yvonne and I
“THANK ALL OF YOU.”

PARTICIPATORY MEMBERSHIP
Part Two (the rant continues)
An editorial by Paul Edwards
I wasn’t going to write anything else on this topic until I
saw the attendance at the September membership meeting.
I saw, and while I acknowledge that there were 3 faces there
that I am not used to seeing, the increase is not nearly enough.
I cannot understand why an organization of 800 members
allows just 16 people to make all the decisions that affect the
organization. Don’t any of the members have ideas? Don’t any
of the members have opinions about how the Legion Post
should be functioning? Don’t you care what the Legion Post is
doing with the dues you pay and the profits from club operations
and gambling? The only way you have a say in what goes
on is to come to the membership meetings. While at the
Executive Board meetings only the officers and board members
have a vote, everybody has a voice. At a general membership
meeting, all post members have a voice and a vote. Unless
you express your idea or opinion where it counts, as in at
one of the monthly meetings, your idea or opinion is just
noise in the bar. Personally, I have a higher opinion of my
ideas and opinions than that. I want them heard and I want
them to matter.
You remember that last month, I asked about a guy named
Adrian Peterson and what would happen if he did not
participate. [In the home opener game], he did not
participate. What happened?
YOU are an important part of this Legion Post. YOUR ideas
and opinions are important and valuable. YOUR past service to
the country and to the Legion is appreciated. YOU have
knowledge and wisdom, however slight you might it is. Please
stop depriving us of YOUR company, your ideas, your opinions,
your wisdom and your knowledge.
I ask the question again, “Where is everybody?” More
importantly, “WHERE ARE YOU?”

GREETINGS FROM THE GAMBLING OFFICE:
I am going to start by sending out a big THANK YOU to all in the
organization who help make our charitable gambling efforts a
success. This is for both the paid and volunteer workers. To
Jim and Sarge, for their work with the Meat Raffle on Fridays.
To Tadina and Josh who do excellent work with our Bingo
efforts. To Sue Edwards for answering the call whenever I
need help. To Tara, my Assistant Gambling Manager for her
hard work keeping us moving forward. And one more “thank
you” to all the folks who helped out with Fair Bingo.
Having said that, I will mention that we need more
volunteers, especially for the Friday night Meat Raffle. We
currently have only two teams to cover every week and I don’t
want to burn them out. If you would like to come and have
some fun for a couple of hours on Friday evenings, let us know.
It is fun and you will be allowed to clown around, at least a little.
Don’t worry about lack of experience; we will have you work with
someone for a time or two to learn the paperwork and the
procedures. After that, it is all fun.
Our experiment with Tuesday Bingo is going pretty well.
We are able to pay for the prizes won out of income from the
evening. I am sincerely hoping attendance will pick up as the
cold weather returns to the Northland and people come off the
lakes and away from their summer activities. Our current plans
are to let Tuesday Bingo continue at least through February
before we declare the event to be a success. Please spread the
word. We need more players.
The Charitable Gambling operations in the club belong to
the members of the Brainerd Legion Family. You, the
members of the family, have good ideas. Please share them
with us. If you have an idea to improve our Bingo operation, an
idea for a fun raffle, or an idea for a fun event, please send me
an email to [email protected], or the office email at
[email protected]. If you are “old school”, you can also
just drop a note in the gambling mailbox in the office.
~Paul Edwards, Gambling Manager
BRAINERD CHAPTER LEGION RIDERS REPORT
At the chapter meeting on September 17th,
nominations were made for the November elections.
The current slate of officers was nominated for a second
term of office with the exception of Gene Francis, the
current Road Captain and Bruce Spilman, the current
www.brainerdlegion255.org
Chapter Historian. Gene expressed doubt in his ability to serve due to
his on-going health issues. Bruce elected to step down due to the
distance he has to travel to get to meetings. The chapter decided that
in light of the excellent job that Gene has done and due to the
Minnesota riding season drawing to a close, the Road Captain
position would be held open until Gene can resume the duties or we
have to start planning rides again in the Spring.
When we initially elected officers, we did not have enough members
to fill all the positions and the chapter decided to combine the duties
of Road Captain and Safety Officer. Since we now have enough
people, the chapter decided to separate the duties. Steve Eide was
nominated to the position of Safety Officer. Bev Bosch was nominated
to the position of Chapter Historian. Thank you to Jim Mark for serving
as Nomination Chairman.
COMING EVENTS:
October 3: Gold Star Parents event at Craguns
October 15: Chapter meeting (guest speaker from the state
motorcycle skills training group)
October 26: Legion breakfast
November 19: Chapter Officer elections
November 23: Legion Breakfast
*Watch emails and the Facebook page for impromptu rides and
events. We also have our weekly dinner socials.
I reported last month that the stated fundraising goal for the 2014
Legion Rider Legacy Scholarship Fund Ride was $55,000 for the
5th year of the ride. When Sue and I left the Coon Rapids Legion Post,
the end point of the ride, the total was $68,974. I knew it would go
higher because they were still counting money from a silent auction
and there were several posts in the state that had not yet donated.
The donations were transported to the National American Legion
Convention and tallied there. The contributions from all of the
departments in the country totaled more than $1 million. And how did
Minnesota do? Our grand total was higher than any other state in
the union with a donation of $87400. WELL DONE MINNESOTA!!!
~Paul Edwards, Brainerd ALR Chapter Director
