Commander’s Message

Summer is winding down and fall is on its way. With the change of season comes leaves falling and lots of clean-up of our yards. Be careful as you reach down to pick up things. Snakes might just be hiding underneath those leaves or up against the house. Also don’t overdo your yard work. It’s ok to take more than a day to get it all done. And it’s ok to ask for help especially if you need to clean your gutters or anything that requires getting on a ladder. Remember, safety first!!

There are several events on the horizon at the Post. Our Annual Pig Roast and Luau will be 8 October. You will need to RSVP by October 7th. On 22 October, Old Dominion Honor Flight will be taking Veterans to DC to see the monuments, and everyone is invited to see them off. This mission will depart from American Legion Post 175.Unfortunately, we had to postpone the Bingo Dinner but have rescheduled it for 19 November. Again, you will need to RSVP. The Post will have its Annual Christmas Party in December. Come join in and be a part of the fun at your Post.

Membership recruiting is going well. We have signed up five new members already and are promoting Life Membership. Talk up the Post and let potential Members know what Post 9808 does to assist Veterans and the community. Take every opportunity to grow Post 9808.
