Vol. XXI Issue 11

COMMANDER’S CORNER

We have a fairly bust start to

the month of November. On

Sunday, November 10th, we

will celebrate Veterans Day

here at the Post.

At 1 PM we will have a short

program and will then cele-

brate the Post birthday. Don’t

worry; Sunday the 10th is

Broncos bye week. The Post

will provide burgers and

dogs to go along with a pot

luck. Please attend if you can.

On Monday the 11th, we will put on a program at Jef-

ferson Academy which is the school just west of the

Post. Free donuts and coffee is provided at 9:30. The

program starts at 10 and usually last about one hour.

We would like to have as many members there as we

can; I have been told that the Post will receive a spe-

cial recognition at this program.

The next Legion meeting will be on Tuesday the 12th

at 7PM.

Of course, this month we celebrate Thanksgiving. It is

my wish that everyone have a very happy Thanksgiv-

ing.

As always, keep our service men and women in your

thoughts prayers, especially those who may be in

harms’ way,

Chuck Blay, Commander

AUXILIARY

So many projects, so little time. I think that is how

everyone is feeling lately. From the woman’s bath-

room remodel to the Dinner Fundraiser. We have a

project list as long as they come. But somehow, we

get it all done. Thanks to all the support we get from

our Officers and Members. As I am writing this arti-

cle, we are almost done with the bathroom remodel

and have sold our 20-ticket quota to our Dinner Fund-

raiser. Not too shabby. There have been a few changes that I would like to

make you aware of. Resolution 1 was adopted by the

Legion NEC on Oct. 16 which amends the Preamble

wording from "the Great Wars" to "all wars." I am in

the process of making that change on our Preamble

that we read during our meetings and will have it cur-

rent at our November meeting. New to the 2020 membership male spouses are now

eligible to join the Auxiliary! There has been this big

push from our Female Veterans for eligibility for

spouses to join American Legion Auxiliary. I abso-

lutely love this and it’s about time! This historic event

happened at the American Legion Auxiliary’s 99th

National Convention in August when delegates voted

for the change. The LEGION act was signed into law

by President Trump. Let’s make history within our own Unit by having any

eligible spouse come forth to become the first male

member of our ALA Unit 11-11. There is no better

way to honor and recognize the wife’s military ser-

vices. We will be making changes to our by-laws with

this added and submitting to District soon. To our men and woman in uniform, past, present, and

future, God bless you and thank you.

JANETS CORNER

Welcome to November everyone! Before we know it

Christmas will be here!

I want to thank everyone for your patience with the

renovation of the lounge. Things are moving along but

it is going to take a little longer then we predicted but

it will be worth it when it is done.

Speaking of the renovation, since it will not be done in

time, the lounge in the back hall will be closed on Sat-

urday, November 2nd all day and reopen on Sunday,

November 3rd at noon.

It will also be closed all day Saturday, November 9th

and reopen Sunday, November 10th at noon.

On Sunday, the 10th we will be celebrating the Post's

birthday and Veterans Day starting at 1:00 pm. Bur-

gers and dogs will be provided, just bring a dish to

share. Come and help us honor our Veterans and our

Post.

The Post will be open on Thanksgiving Day. Every-

one is invited. The turkey and ham will be provided

just bring a dish to share. Please note: the hours on

Thanksgiving Day will be from 12:00 noon to 6:00

pm. We will be closing at 6:00 pm no matter how

many are still there. Our volunteers donated their holi-

day for our Veterans and deserve some time off also.

We are having Karaoke on Friday nights with potluck

at 6:00 pm and karaoke at 8:00 pm. Bring a dish to

share and have some fun! And we are having potluck

for the Bronco games, even though they are not doing

so good! We can still have fun and enjoy some good

food. Just a reminder, bring your potluck dishes ready

to serve from home. The kitchen is still closed due to

the renovations. We ask for everyone's cooperation in

staying out of the kitchen.

Please remember our volunteers and tip your bartend-

ers. They are giving up their time for all of us.

Janet Lee, Club Manager

Post 11-11’s Soldier Shipment Potluck on July 13

was once again a great success. Forty-one boxes

were shipped to our service members across the

Pacific. This year we elected to send the boxes to

a naval station in Okinawa, Japan. Thank you to those that dropped off food or toilet-

ries, or donated money for this endeavor. You

made it possible to fill those boxes with items our

service members can use. Thank you, Sheila Rey-

nolds and Sam’s Club, for yet another gift card

donation. With this card, additional items were

purchased. Thanks to those that brought the fabu-

lous food and to those that participated in the

packing process. Boxes were packed and ready to

go within a couple of hours. A big thanks to Alex

Wren, who volunteered to take the packages to the

Post Office, and to Candace Gray, Postmaster, and

Michael Kurien, Postal Clerk, for processing those

boxes. And, thank you Kathy Ermisch for step-

ping in to help Ava and me.

Your continued support for this worthwhile pro-

ject is much appreciated. Look for the next pack-

ing potluck in 2020.
