Our Post was 70 years old in February 2016. Our meeting is held Every Month, on the Second Monday at 6:30 PM. Come Join us!
The VFW Auxiliary will be serving their famous Friday Night Dinners again this year. Dinner is served from 5:00-7:30. Remember, the Post opens at 4:00 so stop in and say hello to old friends.
The National VFW Board has set forth new criteria for becoming an Auxiliary member. The Auxiliary is now comprised of both men and women. It would be tremendous if we could recruit relatives of our veterans to supplement our ranks and continue to spread American Patriotism throughout our community.
If you know someone or a relative who would make a good candidate, please ask them to inquire further. They can become part of The Uniform Post Honor Guard, march in parades, participate in community functions and much more. We’re not asking for a huge time commitment, but rather assistance when they have time.
However, our main goal remains bringing new proud veterans into the Veterans of Foreign Wars! My email address is jimheimerl@hotmail.com or you can call me at (651) 261-3111. God Bless and thanks for your service! Jim Heimerl/Post Commander.
