Commander's Greeting

2nd Vice Greeting

Hello Post 8 Family. It has been a challenging year for many of us. The Post is no exception. We are grateful for all the members who have renewed their 2021 memberships. The Post has a few ways to maintain itself financially and memberships sure help.

This year we have been hit with a loss of gaming machines. The company we lease to is going through a license renewal. Until we come to terms and they are up, we are down on gaming. This will have a negative financial impact on Post 8.

Our Hall rentals are back up and we are looking for any business we can attract. Many of our regular hall rentals stopped with Covid and it has been hard work to get them back. Thanks to Robert Coles for promoting our hall and scheduling special events.

Make sure to check the Facebook page for those special events or call the Post to inquire.

General membership meetings are every third Tuesday of the month at 1800. Please try to attend or put a calendar reminder on your schedule.

Post 8 is participating again this year in the Palm Mortuary Memorial Day ceremony. It will be held at the Downtown Palm Mortuary at 9:00 AM.

I hope this newsletter finds you all in good health.  Tom Koch Commander

Great day to you ladies and Gents!!!

Meeting time has been changed to 12 noon on the first Sunday of each month. Your ideas and input are important.

We have a lot of work ahead of us, but, we’re up to the challenge.
