Hot News for June/July 2010

I would like to begin my first Newsletter article by thanking the members of Post 419 for your trust and support by electing me your next Post Commander.  I pledge to do my best in working WITH the other elected Officers and Executive Board and working FOR you.  Only by working together as a team can we accomplish all that is necessary to continue growing as a “great” Post, not just a “good” one.  The members of the Legion, members of the Auxiliary and the members of the SAL make Post 419 a great place to part of and I am proud to be a member.

The comings weeks and months are going to be extremely busy and productive.  We are participating in two parades on Memorial Day, Flag Day ceremonies at the Post, 4th of July parade in Whitmore Lake and providing security and Honor Guard for the Moving Wall in Hamburg.  These events are in addition to our normal schedule of General Meetings, Sunday Breakfast, Coney Nights,  Sloppy Joe Night, Spaghetti Night and Euchre Nights.  Our new Veteran’s Memorial will be dedicated on July 17.  So much to do and so little time to do it.  With all of these events, your help is needed.  As in most organizations, 20% of the members do 100% of the work and we are always in need of volunteers. 

If you can assist just one day/night a month, please contact any Officer, Auxiliary or SAL member and they can direct you to the right place.
Also, the Honor Guard is in need of new members and if that sounds interesting, contact Larry Carter or any member of the Honor Guard and they will be glad to give you the information.  My heartfelt thanks goes out to all members, Auxiliary and SAL who put in so many hours making all that we do, a success.   See you at the Post:

Michael Steuer,
