Dear VFW Family
I would like to say Thank You to all the volunteers this past month. Last month we had two Poppy Drives on Veteran's Day. We raised money for our Relief Fund. I am planning to have a couple more after the first of the year. We had a great turn out for the fish dinner on Veteran's Day. If you weren't there you missed a great meal and great comradeship.
Thanks goes out to all the people that made Thanksgiving Dinner great at the post. We had several people show up and enjoyed the food and fellowship. Once again Thank You for volunteering this past month. I know you don't get told that
enough.
I am sorry to tell you that there will not be any steak dinners this month. The way the Saturdays fall this month it would not benefit the post to have them. The first Saturday we will be having soup/chili type meal. The reason for that is the Avoca Christmas Parade is that night. The third Saturday of the month is on the 21st. I figured our members would be celebrating Christmas with their families due to Christmas is on Wednesday the following week. We will be having our annual
Christmas parties for the kids and our members. Please check the calendar for the dates and times.
The Post is still needing stuff for the Cheer Boxes and they will be given out on the afternoon of 22nd of December. We will need volunteers for all these events. If you have time please come out and help out with these events.I hope to see a lot of you out at the Post this month. These events are for you and to help build relationships with each other.
Let's take the time this month to welcome all our new members and make them part of our family here at VFW Post 3031.
Ok the last thing I need to remind our members is to renew. If your dues are getting ready to expire please come to the Post to renew or go online at www.vfw.org. To let you know where we stand on membership this year, we are currently at 83.84%. The Post needs to be at 103% by June to be eligible for any awards given out by Department or National.
Sincerely
Jerry Tobey
