LETTER FROM THE COMMANDER
Comrades,
This News Letter is for the months of June and July. Also there will be no monthly meeting. While speaking about monthly meetings we are back to the same small group of people, remember this is your post and you do have a say in how it is run, but you can only do this at the meeting. NOT ar the canteen or other functions.
Please all motorcycles park in the rear of the building due to the recent resurfacing. The kick stands dig into the new pavement.
On the 4th of July there will be hamburgers and hot dogs for $3.00 and $2.00 respectively.
State convention is June 11-14th, and anyone can attend. It is at the Renaissance Hotel across from Sea World. The National convention is July 19th-22nd in Pittsburg, PA.
We are revamping bar bingo to 10 games. The first eight games are priced at $12.00 and the last two games will be $2.00. All donations will go back to the players for all games. Everyone have a great and safe summer. The next news letter will be the August news letter.
In Comradeship

HONOR GUARD
We have had a very busy May, including funerals, memorials & the Parade. Hopefully, June will be slow. Our Honor Guard is the best Honor Guard around & it is a HONOR to serve with these men who are very dedicated. We are in need of some new men & women to join our ranks. Members who have been with us for some time are retiring because of health problems, and we will miss them. If there is any member out there that could or might have thought about joining, please call me or stop in the office.
Thanks for reading
Ron Polzin Honor Guard

SERVICE OFFICER
If you know someone who is currently in the service but is planning to leave, it is to their advantage to submit their disability compensation claim prior to separation, retirement, or release from active duty or demobilization. Processing times tend to be much shorter for claims submitted pre-discharge than after discharge. Pre-discharge programs provide service members with the opportunity to file claims for disability compensation up to 180 days prior to separation or retirement from active duty or full-time National Guard or Reserve Duty.
