Greetings from the Commander
October, November, December 2014 P. O. Box 428 Chesapeake Beach, MD 20732 301-855-6466 410-257-9878 We are Family Greetings from the Commander I hope this letter finds everyone well and happy. A lot has happened since my last newsletter; thank goodness it’s been positive. We just had our annual golf outing, which was a huge success yet again. Please thank Roland and Nancy Pellitier, Scott Deacon, and all the volunteers that make this event what it is. Dinners are up and going again. Please check the calendar to see what is on the menu and then come join us! The Post is planning another Thanksgiving dinner this year. We have already contacted Fisher House and the VA Medical Center in hopes of bringing 20 – 30 of our less fortunate veterans for a day of fun and festivities. Our world-renowned chefs come from all over, as far away as North Beach and Chesapeake Beach Maryland to help make this event one to remember. Members and family are also invited to enjoy dinner and spend some time with our veterans. For those not aware, every Sunday the post has a cookout on the downstairs patio. The menu varies and can range from simple items, such as hamburgers and hot dogs, to steak, ribs, and the like. Come join our football fans and enjoy the food and party; Chefs Pellitier and Purdy are a sight to behold! Donations always accepted. We are moving forward on Post improvements. This quarter we are trying for a completely new water softening system as well as a new HVAC system upstairs. I will keep you posted as to our progress. Thank you to all the volunteers, Legionnaires, SALs, and Auxiliary who make this Post special. Your countless hours and tireless efforts do not go unnoticed. In closing, please keep all our troops, both near and afar, as well as their loved ones and our veterans in your thoughts and prayers. Without them, there would be no freedom. God bless the USA. For God and Country, Charles E. Choux Post 206 Commander 1st VICE COMMANDER’S MESSAGE VOLUNTEERISM No Post can survive without the members stepping up and helping out with functions and tasks around the Post! I want each and every member of Post 206 to seriously consider doing so. You don’t need to dedicate 8 or 10 hours for anything. Just maybe 2 to 3 hours will do! Just ask what is needed or read one of the fliers that are posted. You never know what is needed until you do. Also, if you are sked, please take the time to step up and help out. YOU ARE NEEDED!!!! For God and Country. Jack Custis FROM THE DESK OF THE ADJUTANT MEMBERSHIP UPDATE WELCOME to Campaign 2015. Yes, renewal time is well under way. By now the original 2015 renewal notices sent out are 3 months old. National will be sending out the 1st of 3 reminders to those of you who have not yet renewed. So far the Post is at 507 members. This includes renewals, transfers and new members. We are at 58 %. Our GOAL is 873. LETS TEAM UP so we can make goal. “How can I help” you ask? Easy as 123. 1. Renew your own membership. 2.

KEEP in touch and let us hear from you. ******** Yours in Legion Service, Robert K. Sybert, Adjutant 2 GREETINGS FROM THE AUXILIARY PRESIDENT Well we are off and running! I can’t emphasize how important it is for all of our Auxiliary members to participate in some way. We are well recognized in the American Legion Department of Maryland and want to continue to make an impact on our Veterans and communities. What better way than build member involvement within our great community? At this time our country needs volunteers to do many things for our veterans and their families. We send boxes abroad to our troops so if you have a family member or a friend of the family who has been deployed why not get their information, number, and address of their destination? We will take care of the rest. This is a great way to get involved! We are going to start working with the USO and their families and welcoming our soldiers when they return home at the airport. This is a new exciting opportunity that we are adding to our duties along with continuing our support and time at our VA Hospital visits and our Charlotte Hall activities. All of our activities at our post (Dinners, Bazaars, Dances, etc.) contribute to our finances which in turn are used for the benefit of our military and community. If you get involved you will be blessed if only in your heart. To volunteer your time please contact me, Judi Granados at 301-775-9195. Thank you! For God and Country, Your President Judi Granados AUXILIARY CHRISTMAS BAZAAR The Auxiliary will again host the ever-popular Annual Christmas Bazaar on Saturday, November 22, 2014, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. There is always a very good crowd to support this major fund-raiser and many, many hands are needed to put it over in the usual successful manner. Sign-up sheets will be posted on the Auxiliary bulletin board for baked goods and for general volunteers, both women and men. Sign-up for 1 hour or 8 hours, all help will be appreciated. Vendors are expected to offer Holiday-themed items and/or items suitable for gifts. While past participating vendors are being contacted, new vendors should be encouraged to get on board. If you know someone who might be interested, have him/her call Brenda Miller. The Auxiliary charges $30.00 per table plus one saleable item for the ALA sale table (Chinese Raffle); if no saleable item is forthcoming, the fee is $35.00. In addition to vendors, the Auxiliary will offer light breakfast and luncheon meals and drinks, plus a bake table, music, face painting, Chinese Raffle, pother raffles, and Santa! For information call Brenda Miller at (443)964-5722 3 Greetings from the SAL Commander As the cooler weather approaches and the leaves are turning it is also time to get geared up for our fund raising and special events. Please take note in the Calendar Section for our upcoming events. Our regular business meeting in September was well attended. There were many issues covered including Charitable Donations. The Members approved sponsoring a Golf Team and a Hole for the Post’s Golf Tournament to be held September 26. This is to raise funds for the Children and Youth Programs. Also approved were donations to Special Olympics of Southern Maryland, Chesapeake Cares Food Bank and the Charlotte Hall Veterans Home. I am very proud of our Squadron for assisting with these essential programs. Another important item I want to mention is recognizing our Members with 25 or more years of Membership. These Members are and followed by years of service, Brian Belk 29, Robert Carres 28, Edward Debruyn 29, William J Gilmartin 27, John Obrien 25, Dennis Smith 26, Mike Stringfellow 31, Christopher Sullivan 26, Carl Tankesley 39, Glenn Webb 40. I speak for the entire membership when I say Thank You for your dedication and service.

We are the third largest in Southern Maryland District which has more than twice as many SALs as any other district. Right now we are first in the number of memberships paid and second in the percent paid in our district. Several events coming up include a Motown Dance, Corn Hole Tournament and Bull and Oyster Roast. Please refer to the Calendar for Dates & Times. Membership Meetings are the 2nd.

While most of us performed our honorable military service in fairly routine and unexceptional circumstances, others were involved in activities that resonate a little more strongly in the historical narrative of our conflicts. Below are some additional “stories” gleaned from those records. As in previous issues, I’ll keep the names anonymous, but know that these former Post 206 members’ service— whether routine or heroic— are part of the fabric of our organization and its’ heritage. - I was a World War II veteran from Maryland Park, MD, and I served in the Navy from 1944 to 1947.

It contains quite a tale of military service and sacrifice that I thought was worth sharing with our membership. July 14, 2014 “To Members of Post 206: Just wanted to bring me up to date with you all. Since I am 93 years old now I don’t dine [out] so as a result I don’t get to see you all. To bring you up to date, there were four of us (the Hanley Family) in World War II—one in the Pacific theater, one North Africa and Italy, one made the Normandy invasion and was killed at the Battle of Saint Lo, and then “me”. I was one of the first women to join the Army. My father [Daniel J. Hanley] was in World War I and he organized our American Legion Post #46 at Benwood, West Virginia. I went to Normandy three years ago and was in the area my brother served. I was given a medal and award by the French Government for his giving his life for his country and also for the liberation of France. I am 93 years old and still active. I also was interviewed by a Boy Scout and aided him in his becoming an Eagle Scout. He interviewed me for my history in the Army, and as a result it is recorded in the Library of Congress. Well, my heart is with you all. I did not go on the bus trip [Honor Flight trip on April 26 to the WWII Memorial] you wrote to me about, but I had been interviewed down at the WWII Memorial. Well, my hand is getting tired so I’ll close—but just forget me not. I hope you will come and say farewell when I make my trip to Lee Funeral Home. Rosalie Safreed P.S. Hope you can read my scribling.” I am sure that everyone at Post 206 joins me in thankful recognition of the patriotic contributions made by Rosalie and her family. If you would like to contact her the address is Rosalie Hanley-Safreed, 2220 Line Ridge Drive, Huntingtown, MD 20639. 7 Thanks to everyone's hard work and support, last year we were able to make sure that 1,000 local children had a smile on Christmas morning.
