COMMANDER?S MESSAGE
I have recently received some correspondence regarding problems with trying to receive help with VA claims. If you are having a problem with a claim and have been denied I have in the office a whole list of websites that you can go to for help. Nearly 100% of this information is free and available for all veterans. The only catch is you have to ask for it. So stop in the office for the list.
A big thank you to Patty Thorenson for her donation and hard work on the POW memorial. The memorial is beautiful Patty. All the mirror and labor was donated by Patty and her company.
When you come to the Post take a walk way in the back of where the RV?s are kept and see what a nice memorial for Flag burning has been done by Boy Scout Troop 888. The boy scouts meet at out post every Monday night.
Thank you West Starns for your donation of water pipe and fittings so we can water the scouts memorial. Our memorial is not just for people who passed away it is also for our members who served.
Ron Polzin
Commander

?Nothing is impossible for the person that doesn't have to do it.? - Anonymous
A lot of work has been done around the post by the House Committee members and volunteers.
In addition to deciding on new post officers, we need to have suggestions for a new House Committee Chariman. I have to many commitments in the near future and need to take a backseat. Thank you for all your support.

HONOR GUARD
?Pride of the Post?
Honor Guard attended a funeral in Ft. Pierce for Peter Camacho. A memorial was performed at Tequesta Country Club. Another memorial was performed for Ed Pawlak.
The Color Guard was at Seacoast Bank in support of Castle?s Memory Field Dedication, honoring the memory of the children who lost their lives last year, in the State of Florida, as a result of abuse and neglect. The Castle organization?s mission is to improve the quality of family life and prevent child abuse and neglect by providing community education, support and resources for parents in need of assistance.
We are still looking for volunteers for Honor Guard.
Ron Polzin
Captain of Guard

LADIES? AUXILIARY NEWS
Ladies:
Spring is in the air. Thank you to so many who cleaned out their closets and baked or contributed to our annual flea market. All the figures aren't in yet but everyone said it was a huge success. Thanks go out to Nancy Imboden and her helpers who took charge again this year. She did a great job!
In other news, our elections for officers is on April 12 at our meeting. Please come out and get involved. All positions are up for grabs and your participation would be appreciated.
As our year starts to whine down, we have lots of people to thank for another successful year. Christine Davis and her family were very active this year running our raffles and helping with our dinners. Dorothea Wiley as always was a major asset in getting our membership in. And you ladies, thank you for being a part of 10132 Auxiliary. Every one plays a part in making or keeping an auxiliary running. So come to the meetings and be a part of the group. That is why you joined, wasn't it? Problems or concerns, please email me or call me.
Respectfully submitted,
Rosemary Ayers President
