Vol. XXI I Issue 2
COMMANDER’S CORNER
Have you come to the remod-
eled lounge yet? You need to
see it. It is not complete yet
but very close. There some
more additions needed in the
bar area and I’m sure the
walls will soon be covered.
This is a very special
THANK YOU to all of the
volunteers who have worked
on this project. I don’t want
to try to name them because I will, no doubt, leave a
name out. These men and women gave their time to
make this come true for all of us. There were strains
on relationships because of all the last minute
changes. I know that in my case that relationship has
been rescued, I hope that everyone else has the same
fortune.
Again volunteers: THANK YOU!!!!
We have a serious problem arising here at the Post.
People do not respect the authority of the Bar Tender,
and because of this we are losing Bar Tenders, espe-
cially at night.
The Bar Tender has total authority of the bar and
lounge when they are on duty. They cannot be jerks
about it, but the responsibility for the conduct of all is
theirs. When they call LAST CALL that is what it
means. They will call it when the patrons stop paying
and buying and are just sitting around and talking.
Our volunteers and the Post are making no money
either for the volunteer or the Post expenses. This is a
business and must make money too. Our regular clos-
ing time is 10PM, it can be earlier if there is no crowd
or later if the situation dictates. Please don’t make
this go before the Executive Board.
As always remember or service men and women who
are on active duty, especially those who may be in
harm’s way.
Chuck Blay, Commander
AUXILIARY
Planning forward helps get things done. The District
puts forth suggestions for Units to complete service
projects. We have completed some of the suggested
projects and others we haven’t done in a long time.
One of those projects is offering a First Aid and CPR
class to our members. We are excited to announce
that we will be offering a First Aid and CPR class on
Saturday, February 22nd from 8am to noon at the
Post. The class will cover CPR/AED/Adult First Aid
and will include what to do if someone has a seizure.
The class will be taught by Richard from HeartSmart
Inc. Richard recognizes we are a veteran’s organiza-
tion and therefore has discounted the cost of the class
to $20 per person. We ask that if you would like to
attend the class please sign up and pay the bartender
next time you visit the post.
Audit is Complete, or is it Mission Complete? This
past month we audited both our financial records and

membership accounts. We reviewed records going
back 2 years to find that all the information submitted
is accurate, and that all accounts are well organized
with only one recommendation of change. Thank you,
Diane Smith, for hosting as well as keeping such good
records for the Auxiliary.
Our next mission is to update our By-laws to add all
wars. We will also be updating to include men as Aux-
iliary members. We will get a committee organized to
work on this and hope to have it completed by March
1st.
Watch for our other exciting events coming this
Spring. If you able to stop by the Post on the last Sun-
day of each month to help fold newsletters, we would
surely appreciate it.

Four Chaplains Memorial Service
POST 11-11
Saturday February 1st
1:00 PM
The Four Chaplains, also sometimes referred to as the "Immortal Chaplains," were four United States Army
chaplains who gave their lives to save other civilian and military personnel during the sinking of the troop
ship USAT Dorchester on February 3, 1943, during World War II. They helped other soldiers’ board lifeboats
and gave up their own life jackets when the supply ran out. The chaplains joined arms, said prayers, and sang
hymns as they went down with the ship.
Special Invitation to those who have never seen this ceremony: new or trans-
ferred members: their friends, family and children.
It is an education in history and also a lesson in valor.
Please Plan on attending.
