The chicken comity is on the ball and has things rolling for our chicken feed at Meining Park during the festival. Volunteers will be needed that Friday morning to help haul the blocks for the BBQ pit and get things ready. See Dan Copher and the sign up list in the post for volunteers to help out!!! Please come down and join us for a ring side seat for the parade, food, drinks and friends! Fourth of July is upon us as well. I will be cooking hot dogs& burgers at the post. We will be open from 12-6PM After hours everyone is invited to my home for drinks and to watch fireworks! Post officers are starting to settle in and get their wits about them now. Give them a bit more time to get ahold of the reins and things should go a bit smoother in the coming months. House Comity has been blessed with Merle Stuart who has volunteered for Chairman. This has resolved a huge issue within the confines of management for our post. Please be sure to thank Merle if you see him in the post.
