VFW POST 10066
JUNE 2016 NEWSLETTER
Commander’s Corner:
Congratulations to all the 2016-17 officers of VFW Post 10066, the Ladies Auxiliary and Men’s
Auxiliary who officially take office June 12 during the annual VFW State Convention. I encourage
everyone to support our Post and its auxiliaries as we continue to support our veterans and our Jensen Beach community through VFW programs and events.
Our Post was well represented during the Memorial Day parade and services in Memorial Park
in Stuart as we honored veterans and remembered those who died while serving our country.
We begin June by remembering those who served on D-Day, June 6, 1044 - the day first day of
the Normandy Invasion in northern France during WWII. On Tuesday, June 14, we remind everyCommander
one to fly the American Flag on Flag Day. Our country’s flag was adopted as the flag of the United Harry Keat
States on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress.
I want to thank Bill Genetti & Mike Fatibene for the work they are doing in the VFW kitchen.
They’re doing a great job, keeping the kitchen open all day Monday through Saturday and serving
$5 lunches, grill menu items and $8 Friday night dinners. I’d also like to welcome Dale Rosas-Friedel
to the kitchen on Sundays. She’s offering $5 Sunday Buffet Breakfasts from 9 am - 1 pm and she will
cook orders upon request.
We’ve installed a new televised bulletin board on
the north wall of the canteen. All VFW events and
messages will be updated regularly on this TV, so
make sure you monitor it regularly.
We have several activities planned this month,
including Tuesday night Karaoke and Friday night
dinners and entertainment. Come by for fun evenings
of dancing and music by Lady & The Tramp, Dennis
G. and the Saxman & Posse Band. Make sure you
stop by Friday, June 10, for the farewell show of Sho
Nuff Country Band.
Officers: Commander Harry Keat; Sr. Vice John Gardenier;
I encourage you to participate in our activities as VFW
Jr. Vice Jim Serafica; Quartermaster/Adjutant Gabe Gero;
