EXTRA NEWS:
• Post General Meeting: We urge you to attend the Post General Meetings! We have several upcoming events and opportunities and need more members to know about them and participate in them. Our next major event will be Memorial Day where we have several ceremonies and volunteer events, the more volunteers the easier it will be to put together. If you would like to attend the meeting in person, please come to the Post at 7:30. If you would like to attend online, this is the link to the Post General Meeting. If you don't want to attend, drop us an email here: Anonymous Meeting Input to let us know why you aren't interested in attending and what we can improve to make it more beneficial to your attendance.
If you have feedback about why you don't participate in Post Volunteer events or ceremonies, please use this link to email us: Post Participation Feedback.
• Wreaths Across America: Although the Post is not distributing wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery as a group event, you are encouraged to sign up individually and help put out the wreaths on Saturday, December 14th at 8 AM. Here is the Wreaths Across America link to sign up.
• Bartenders: The Post needs volunteer bartenders, especially on the 3rd and 4th Saturdays each month. Being a bartender is one of the best activities for the Post's members. It allows the Post Canteen to open regularly and provides predictability to members and guests who want to come to the Post and socialize with other Comrades.
New bartender training will be on the second Saturday of each month at 6 PM; please get in touch with Fritz for more information. If you are interested in bartending but can't be there on the second Saturday, please let us know when you are available, and we can arrange the training.
Don't hesitate to contact Fritz to determine which day of the month you can volunteer. Our current vacancies are: November 29th and 30th
• Food Handlers: Your Post needs some help in the kitchen. Now that we serve food on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights, we need more certified food handlers to help during those shifts, which is an easy thing to do. A test follows a 30-45-minute class. If you pass the test, you are issued a food handler license. The process costs $10, but the Post will pay you back. Here is the website: Virginia Food Handler.
• Donation: Our programs support our service members while on the front line, as they are discharged long after returning. Your tax-deductible donation will immediately help serve VFW programs where your support is most urgently needed.
• Home Depot Post renovations: We have set a date: 24-25 January 2025! Team Home Depot will start on the first two projects for the Post: redecorating the small bathroom and reconfiguring the basement stairs. We will hold off on the parking lot work until then. Don't hesitate to contact Fritz and let him know you can assist on Fridays. We need to ensure Home Depot the Post has at least six of our members who volunteer to help with the renovations.
