BUDDY POPPY UPDATE AND HOLIDAY BASKETS

November 6, 2011
So far we have not had very many sign up for Buddy Poppies for this weekend.  We still are needing people to sign up.  If you can sit at a table for an hour and hand them out, we would love to have you help.  We also have buckets out at the post to drop off donated goods for the holiday baskets.  We have a couple of names in already.  If you know of a member or veteran or a family of a veteran that is in need of a basket tell either Quartermaster Jerry Smalley or Commander Jim Clark or Sr. Vice Mark Decker and the information will be passed on.  Thanks for your help and cooperation.
