Again I want to thank all of the volunteers that help with the dinners and activities at the post as none of it can happen without volunteers.

Welcome to 2023. It’s kind of nice as well as unexpected to have our typical January thaw arrive a little early after what Christmas looked like.
Our January meeting is Tuesday Jan.3 at 7 p.m. If you are able please plan on attending as we need to discuss some sort of membership drive aimed at the younger veterans. If Post 4250 is to survive we need post 9/11 veterans to come forward.
I do have membership cards for quite a few member who have been waiting.
We will be hosting the February Steak Fry slated for Feb. 11, 2023.
We have in the past been hosting Burrito night which was held on the 4th Saturday. Some of the key volunteers for this event are declining to help in the future, so if you like Post 4250 Burritos, please consider helping. This has generally been popular because we have been coupling Karaoke by Larry TerBeek to make a fun night.
Have a great month!
