From Our Commander:
I hope everyone had a nice holiday. I am sorry we ran out of food
on Christmas, but we had a much
larger crowd than we expected.
Thank You, to Brenda, Libby
and Vinnie for helping with the
meal. It seems like I am always
thanking the same people, but volunteers are not responding to our
pleas for help.
Let me tell you a little story about George.
George was always there when we asked. When
people were asked to help, their answer was to
call George. Well George got tired and went
home. Now what are we supposed to do? The
moral of this story is we are wearing our few volunteers out. Please volunteer if you can.
The Legionnaire of the Month is Vinnie Cassamasse. Vinnie is not even a member of our
Post, but he is like George. He is always there.
Our First Vice John DiMenna resigned from
the E Board. He will be missed. He was doing a
great job. Our Second Vice does not wish to
move up, so the position will remain open until
the next election.
The Pearl Harbor ceremony was very nice.
Thanks to Dee Sheppard for all her hard work.
As always, if you have questions or concerns,
please call me at the Post.

From Auxiliary Unit 40 President
Auxiliary Unit 40 Officers
Greetings Ladies,
I hope your holidays were great.
Mine were as my children came to visit
from New Jersey.
Our family at the Post was well taken
care of for Christmas. (Food, Tree &
Gifts) The Post was open on Christmas
Day for those who had no one to be
with on Christmas Day.
We had a get together for the Volunteers to Thank
them all on December 22nd. It was very nice, Thank
You.
New Year’s Eve was wonderful, everyone wore
their finest. We had a marvelous dinner by Al Hughes,
and danced the night away, welcoming in the New
Year.
I hope you all made a resolution for the New Year
and plan to keep it. I know I did, to help our veterans.
January starts a new year and we are planning a
50’s night on the 25th. So get out your poodle skirt
and saddle shoes, practice the twist and the jitterbug,
and we all can pretend we are back when we were
young and carefree.
The Auxiliary Dinner this month will be Chicken
Cordon Bleu by Denise and Dave, thanks guys.
A very Happy Birthday or Anniversary to those in
the month of January.
I can always be reached on my cell phone or at the
Post.
Pray for our men and women protecting our freedom.
For God And Country,
Edie Porter

A New Year’s Prayer
May God make your year a happy one!
Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain,
But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;
Not by making your path easy,
But by making you sturdy to travel any path;
Not by taking hardships from you,
But by taking fear from your heart;
Not by granting you unbroken sunshine,
But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows;
Not by making your life always pleasant,
But by showing you when people and their causes
need you most, and by making you anxious to be
there to help.
God’s love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year
ahead.
Thanks,
Joan Smith
