COMMANDER’S MESSAGE
Greetings:
Summer is waning here in wonderful Wyoming. The days are getting a little shorter and the nights are getting a little cooler. Fall is closing in on us. Things may be cooling off in Wyoming, weather-wise, but Post 154 is heating up, activity-wise. On September 4 the American Legion meets at 7pm. It is the first meeting of the “new” Legion year, so issues that have emerged during the summer will be addressed then. On 18 September, the Post 154 Governing Board (GB) meets at 6 pm. The GB is responsible for the day to day operations of the Clubroom and Hall. The Auxilliary, Sons of the Legion, and the Legion are all represented on the GB. If you have a bar issue, refer it to the Governing Board. All members are invited to attend. On 21 September the Annual Post 154 Golf Outing will tee off. More golf information later in this newsletter.
You may have noticed the Post parking lot is in need of some care. Our Clubroom bar also needs some work. We are currently seeking quotes to repair, remodel, and improve our Post facility. Updates on these projects will be provided as we progress. As always, your support and donations are appreciated.
PS: Don’t miss the Queen of Hearts game. On the second and fourth Wednesday of the month, the Auxiliary-run game gives our patrons a chance to win big money. More information on this game appears later in this newsletter.
PPS: Ashley Furniture is having a Veterans Celebration on Saturday 5 October at the Hudsonville County Fairgrounds from 12 - 4 pm. Free food, music, games for kids, and door prizes will be available.Last but surely not least … our Post Clubroom begins football hours on 9/8. On Sundays, we open at 12:30 until the Super Bowl in February.
