Commanders Comments 

The time has came for us to meet again. Since the last meeting we have lost a valuable member of our team but as every one know we still have to keep going. I’ll be asking for help from more comrades to get things done. We still have a few programs. If you are doing any thing in the community, please report it so we can get it reported to state and let them know we are still here. If any one can think of things to be doing please bring it to our attention.

We had a good turn out for the fish fry. As every one knows we were able to get things done and I would like to thank all of the volunteers that we had helping. 

David Bowers, Commander 

Chaplain’s Comments

As I write this month’s comments I can’t help but feel that all of us have a bit of sadness in our hearts at the loss of our fellow Comrade Larry Seaton. My Prayer is that we ask GOD to allow a shower of HIS Love to wash over us and refresh us just like the rains that descend from the skies to nourish the earthly flowers, trees and grass.  GOD knows how we feel because HE too lost a SON. 

May we all resolve to put our shoulders to the wheel and pledge to go forward helping each other and those that can’t provide for themselves.  As Spring approaches we can compare it to LIFE.  There are days ahead of us that will feel like the warm rays of a sunny Spring day because we will be able to see things progress as we would like them to.  GOD has promised us that with HIM in our lives and following HIS WILL good things will take place.  We got off to a good start with our Fish Fry and Auction. 

Paula and I would like to thank each of you for your congratulatory remarks regarding the milestone that we have been Blessed to reach in the celebration of our GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.  

I would like to leave you with a quick reminder that we’ll soon be starting Daylight Savings Time. Before you know it we will adjust to the difference in the time change and we will carry on with exuberance.

 President’s Comments

I would like to take this time to thank everyone for all the support that you have given me . You are all my family and I will need you all. Larry was such a big part of this organization that he is going to be missed.  

We have a few things that we need to get done this month and next.

We have our Cancer Aid & Research fund Raiser,our Patriotic Art entry,we have the JRROTC, the Girl Scout Gold Awards will be soon. 

Our breakfast and meeting is on March 13th. Our dinner is on 27th.

Keep our Troops in your prayers and remember our members.

Chaplain’s Comments

     It seems like we just finished with Christmas and March is here already. Time sure does fly.
     As everyone knows our post lost a member. Larry Seaton passed on February 9th. He was the men's quartermaster. He was good at his job and he will be missed. He did a lot more for the post than his job required. We need to keep his widow Jan Seaton in our prayers.
     Birthdays for the month of March go out to Dorothy Burkey. Ola Mae Allday, Marie Chapman, Venessa Jones, Rebecca Parker and Helen White. We want to wish each of these ladies a very happy birthday and if we have overlooked anyone by mistake, please forgive us.
     News is kinda scarce. We must remember Mrs. Alta Milner and Pauline West in our prayers. And Mrs. Alta Lee Futch who fell and broke two ribs. And Vanessa Jones who had been in the hospital, but is home now. Hope you get to feeling better real soon. And always remember our military men and women.
     Until next time be good to each other and God Bless.
