Hello Members, December, 2015 We were supposed to have our inspection at the meeting but our district president Heather Sheppard was unable to come due to an illness in the family, so we are shooting for a January inspection. We are now 100% in membership! Thanks to those for getting their dues in promptly and all the new members this year so far. We still need 4 more and we will have everyone’s 2016 dues collected. Our Chairpersons: Americanism-Mary Joly Camp Trotter-Lorissa Elinski Scholarships-Grace Connolly Hospital-April Killian Veterans and Family Support-Kay Lynch Legislative-Dawn Shock Youth Activities-Darlene Adrzgiewski Membership-Sharon Grodi If you have something to report these are the people you need to contact. There was an email sent out with email addresses for those who have the internet and can report that way. If you do not have the internet please call me for the phone numbers of the chairman. Many things are reported in multiple committees. I usually send a letter reporting what is happening at the meeting, but have decided to focus more on what is going on at the post in this letter. • December 12, 2015 -10:00am- 12:00pm. “Santa Comes to Erie” The parade starts at 11:00am at St. Joseph’s church and ends up at the post via Erie Rd. We received the very generous donation of toys from the Marine’s program of “Toys for Tots” again this year! They are truly a blessing to our program. • January 13, 2016 –7:00pm. Our next meeting.

Please come to the meetings! There is so much happening that it is hard to put it all down on this one page. If you need a ride, give me a call and it will be arranged. The most exciting time at our meeting this month was all the donations brought in by Kathy Judy and her angels. The donations are for our servicemen serving overseas and those in the hospital. In January’s newsletter I will compile a list of all the donations and fun we have had in the past year. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! President Marji Terry – Phone number 734-735-7404 |
