EXTRA NEWS:

 

Trivia Night - February 13th, 7:30 PM:  Come match your knowledge of Trivia with the best trivia minds on 19th ST N!  Post Commander Mike Cantwell will lead us in 3 rounds of Jeopardy-style trivia with fabulous prizes (maybe?) and fun for all.  Come a few minutes early and have a drink with your favorite bartender, Steve, and ask him how the kids are doing.   

Post Maintenance Day - February 14th, 12 PM. Come on out and spend a few minutes learning how we keep our Post home from falling down around us.  Learn the secrets of who cleans up the kitchen, floor, and restrooms.  Explore our fascinating basement, and if you are lucky, you can see the pile of Post yearbooks in the attic. NOTE:  We may start this earlier in the day to allow some of our maintenance folks to get an early start on their Saturday Night. 

Post General Meeting - February 16th, 7:30 PM.  Please come to our General Meeting on Monday night!  We had 5 new members at our meeting last month, and we are looking to double that number!  There are some important items on the agenda:

• Memorial Day Planning
• Buddy Poppy Planning
• Upcoming elections
• The always-popular review of open leadership positions
• Legislative Update
• Post Day of Action in May
• Team Home Depot
• Our awesome neighbor and his latest antics. Attend in person at the Post, or attend via Zoom by clicking on this link:

Got a worn-out US Flag?:  If you are curious how you are supposed to properly dispose of a US Flag, let us know!  Do you have an old, faded, worn flag in the closet and are not sure what to do with it?  Come to our open meeting to discuss this topic! 

 

Family-Friendly Events: We have several members with school-age kids who we want to keep engaged with the Post.  If you are one of them, please let us know how we can host more family-friendly events at the Post.  Post Easter Egg Hunt?  Trick or Trunk?  Family Potlucks?

 

If this interests you, please bring it up at the next General Meeting, or send me an email here:

Commander's Note: Over the holidays, our Commander sent a message to our membership about the state of your Post.  Participation and financial stability are the two focuses for 2026, and you will hear this in almost every communication from the Post.  If you are not able to increase your participation in Post events, please consider a monthly recurring donation to the Post.  This is the best way to help ensure the Post's longevity:

 

It is as simple as clicking on this link and filling out a form:  Recurring Donation Form 

REFLEX Comedy Classes: Reflex Improv will offer FREE Intro to Improv classes to VFW Post 3150 members. The six classes will run every Tuesday night from 6 January to 24 February. No class on 20 January or 17 February.  All classes will begin at 8:00 PM and end at 9:30 PM.

During the six classes, you will learn about the fundamentals of improv comedy, including Yes-And, Got Your Back teamwork, creating characters on the fly, and recognizing and playing with scene game. No acting or comedy experience needed!  

 

If you are interested in joining the classes, please email Daniel Brown and cc Mike Cantwell. Include your full name, contact information, and add that you are a VFW Post 3150 member. 

Veterans in Need: 

  

The Post has received requests from Veterans in need in the past few weeks. Here is some info from the Virginia Department of Veteran Services that can help out:

 

In Fairfax or Arlington County:  Contact Edwin Robles

Outside of Fairfax or Arlington County, fill out a request form.

If you have the resources to donate money for assisting anyone, the Virginia Department of Veteran Services recommends donating to:

 

Send a check to:  Northern Virginia Vietnam Veterans of America, PO Box 2111, Reston, VA 20195

 

Donations: We still have two donation buttons on the weekly update. Here's why. Our legal case is proceeding, as is our Zoning Infractions case. Both of these cases have reached a point where we need to dedicate resources to them. Additionally, we will require at least $50,000 for legal fees for both cases. 

We cannot raise this money by selling beer, wings, and pizza on Friday and Saturday nights. We need donations to support our legal battle against a neighbor with substantial financial resources. 

We have two members who will match donations up to $1,750 per month, but we will need more than that to sustain the fight. 

We are starting to do some great things—Veterans and Memorial Day Ceremonies, supporting Veterans and Military members experiencing Food Insecurity, OPERATION WINTERHAVEN Homeless Veteran Stand Down with the DC VA Hospital, Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets, and parties for Service members in need. 

Please donate here:  Donation to the Post's Legal Defense Fund.
