Greetings from the Commander:

The New Year has just begun, and as we look back at what we have accomplished this year should we ask;  is it all that we wanted ?   Lets start the new year out, by keeping our soldiers in your prayers as they are protecting our country and our freedom. They were not home for the holidays as we were.  If you get a chance, help the families of solders, who are deployed overseas, they need all the support that we can give them.  If you know of any family of a soldier that needs any help, please let the Post or myself know. We are there to help them.

By the time you read this our new lift should be operational.  We still are raising money to pay for the lift (Give The Legion A Lift), so if you want to donate to this, please send it to the post, along with a note saying its for the lift.  Thank you to all that have given. 

We will be taking out the pull tab room in mid January, so please excuse us for the little mess that will be created during this remodeling.

We are starting to see a few new faces at our general meeting, which is the 2nd Thursday of each month. If you have not been to a meeting in a while, please come join us and see what is happening around the post.  If you would like to get involved in any of the Legion programs that we have, let us know. We will be glad to take you up on your offer. 

The 10th District Mid Winter meeting , will be at the Anoka Legion on Saturday Jan 9^th, 2010. The Snowmobile Rally for the 10th District will also be on the last  weekend of January. Our membership is doing great, thanks to Bill our 1st Vice. The post is at 91 % at this time. If you have not sent in your membership , please do, and if you have thank you .

I want to thank Bob Hammond for donating a 1/4 of a beef , to be given to a soldiers family ,as the husband is overseas. It was be delivered before Christmas. Thanks again Bob, you just made two families very happy.      

Again, please remember to keep our soldiers in your prayers.
