January, 2019

We have been lucky with our low snowfall so fr this winter. Hopefully we don’t get dumped on the next few months.
Fish fry is on the 4 of Jan. Steak Fry is the 12th. AMVET Riders have it. A lot of the people who usually work them have gone south. It would be wonderful if more people would step up and volunteer..
We need help with burgers on Wednesday nights. I don’t think that it would hurt anybody to donate 3 or 4 hours once or twice a month. It would get you out of the house and help out our Post and fellow veterans.
The Post’s turn at Steak Fry is February 9 and Post membership voted to try something a little different. So, instead of a Steak Fry 2/9/19 will be serving BBQ Ribs. The thinking is that with the difficulty that we always have getting enough people to properly put on a steak fry we can do BBQ Ribs with about half as many people. The menu is not set in stone yet, but it will consist of a full rack of ribs, probably baked beans and a slice or two of garlic toast. We might decide to add cole slaw.
Also on behalf of our AMVETS Riders, we wish to thank all of you who donated to their Children’s Christmas party. You helped make the event a very successful one that will probably be repeated.
There is a Euchre Club coming Tuesday and Fridays starting Jan. 11.
There is not much other news, so I’ll close. Everyone stay safe and sound.
Hope the coming year is good to everyone. God bless our troops at home and deployed.
