Commander's Message

  

     As we move deeper into the Fall, please get out and enjoy the clear crisp weather and the beautiful fall foliage the North Country has to offer.  We have to enjoy it while it lasts as old man winter is just around the corner.  During the transition of seasons, please remember our Post meetings are on the second Tuesday of every month. I look forward to seeing our membership there. I truly value everyone’s input and ideas and hope to hear yours.

          As always, this is a very busy time of year. The Veteran’s Day Ceremony is Saturday, November 11th. We open with coffee and donuts at 9:00. The ceremony will be in front of the Post at 10:00am followed by a ceremony at 11:00 on the Veteran’s Walkway near the County Court House. At noon we will be serving lunch at the Post.

      Join us for the traditional Army/Navy Game on December 9th.The fun begins at 1:30 and kickoff shortly thereafter. December 10th, 1:00 pm will be the Children’s Christmas Party with Santa’s visit so make sure to get signed up by December 2nd. On December 16th at 4:00 is our Tom & Jerry Party.  We end the year with a New Year’s Eve Party at 8:00pm asking everyone to bring a dish to pass. Come and enjoy the celebrations.

     I would like to send out a special heart felt thanks to all the volunteers, members (Post, Auxiliary and Riders) and employees for a very wonderful year! You and your support is what allows the VFW to carry out it’s many missions.

     I wish everyone a very happy and safe Holiday Season.  And please, keep our troops and their families in your prayers.
