American
Legion Family:
Sick Call:
Wishing a speedy recovery to our Commander,
Art Beale; Life Member, Wayne Lewis; and former member of our Post, Ferrel
Belt. We all hope you’re up and around
soon.
Life
Membership:
In the past year a number of Legion members
have chosen to forgo the yearly hassle of paying dues and have purchased a
Kansas Life Membership (or received it as a Christmas gift!). Congratulations to Raymond Asher, Jake
Defrees, Doug Lehman, Donald Jarboe, Warren Johnston, Dennis Joynt. Doesn’t it feel great not to have to put up
with those pesky renewal notices any more?
If you think you would be interested in a Life Membership, contact the
Adjutant, Terry Knight.
Time to
Pay Dues:
Speaking of memberships, we are now in the
2012 membership year and, even though technically your current membership does
not expire until December 31, 2011, National requests that you pay your 2012
dues upon receipt of the notice you received at the beginning of July. The next notices will go out to anyone whose
dues have not been received by Department by October 10.
Old
Settlers Celebration:
Did you receive your annual Old Settlers
fundraiser notice? Think about it. The prizes are CASH. Everyone can use CASH. Please consider helping the Post by returning
your tickets (the part with your name and phone number) and a donation. This is the biggest fundraiser for the Post and
we really need your participation. More
tickets are available so friends, family and co-workers can get in on the fun. Just ask the Bartender.
The Post will be serving a breakfast buffet starting at
8:00am to 9:30 AM on Saturday, August 20.
We will be serving biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs and sausage, coffee
and orange juice. Price will be $6.00.
It was a big hit last year. Come
give it a try.
The horseshoe contests will start at 1:00 PM
both Saturday and Sunday – doubles on Saturday and singles on Sunday – at the
Post. The S.A.L. will have brats, hamburgers
and hot dogs and drinks available at the Coney Island. Please support their efforts.
We will once again have the downtown booth
where we will sell pop and water. We
could use your help. Please consider
giving one hour of your time to work at the booth and give others a
break. Come by, say “hello”, buy some
pop and/or water, and ask if you can lend a hand for awhile. One hour a year isn’t too much to ask,
is it?
Ladies
Auxiliary Report:
Mark your
calendars for September 24. The Ladies Auxiliary is sponsoring a
fundraiser to help build the covered patio planned for Post. Come enjoy
an Elvis impersonator. The cost is just $10 per person. It should be a
really fun night. Invite your friends and neighbors.
Meetings:
The monthly meeting for both the Legion and
the Auxiliary are held the first Monday of the month at 7:00 PM at the Post
Home. If the first Monday falls on a
holiday, the meetings move to the next Monday.
Please join us to learn what’s happening and contribute your ideas. Hope to see you next month, Monday, September
12.
Can You
Help?:
We have lost touch with the following Legion
members, some of them are Life Members.
If you know any of them, please ask them to contact the Adjutant, Terry
Knight at 316-777-1973 or send their current address information to the
Post: P.O. Box 195 Mulvane, KS 67110-0195. If you know that any of them are deceased,
please let us know that also.
