It has been a very busy first month for me as commander. In addition to regular Post business it was discovered that we had a propane leak in the kitchen area, which turned out to be underground. We now have all new piping for the propane under the building.
I owe a special thanks to so many people who have helped me through the first month. A special thanks to Al Lennert our past commander for his patients and guidance during this transition period. Without his help I would still be on square one. Another debt of gratitude goes to Vern Holle for all of his hard work and assistance in coordinating all of the re-piping for the propane at our post.
We have had several very successful events. One birthday party (happy birthday Sally) and one combined birthday party and patio party. I would like to thank everyone for their hard work in making these events a huge success.
The 4th of July is a Holiday Wednesday. We will host a Patio Party with Burgers, Dogs, Brats & Corn Dogs from 1:00 till 5:00pm (the Bar Opens at 10:00am). On Saturday the 21st the Ladies Auxiliary will put on Burger Mania from 2:00 till 6:00pm.
