Happy Turkey Day! Happy Thanksgiving! Happy Holidays!

I hope the festivities find you surrounded by friends and family. Thanksgiving is a day of gratitude, and today and every day, we’re most thankful for you: our amazing members! Thank you for your support of Post 1207 and for making this year a great one.

The economy may be in a struggle right now, the nation may be divided, but we do know one thing: “Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves and spend without fear of bankruptcy.” -Fred De Witt Van Amburgh. So, on that note, and on this Thanksgiving, we are shelling out gratitude for members like you like there’s no tomorrow. Enjoy your day and mint some of your own gratitude to pass along!

Of course, many of our members no longer have family at home and that is where the Post comes in. Remember to “Be the One,” for all the Veterans in your life. Many Veterans struggle this time of year. If that’s you, we are your family and friends. Come down and visit with us.

We have several events planned at the Post that will give you an excuse to get out of the house and have a little fun. Events like the Children’s Christmas Party, a Breakfast, the Post Scholarship Dinner, 2 Fish Fries, an AUX Bake Sale, and a New Year’s Eve Party. Why would you stay home?

We are also looking for people who would like to prepare lunch for the Post. Tammy is interviewing prospective restauranters who would like to see if they got what it takes before investing in their own building, etc.

If you haven’t paid your dues for 2025, yes, I have to say this. Remember, your membership expires at midnight December 31st. Hurry up and renew, we need you.

November Calendar

We have a lot of fun stuff coming up in November for our members to participate in.

Very quickly, we will have a Meat Raffle along with an Auxiliary Lunch on the 2nd. Chicken or tuna salad sandwiches with chips for only $6.00. That will help any budget.

The first of November is the first day to fill out you child or grandchild’s wish list for Christmas. They have to be 12 and under but they always get a nice gift. November 27th is the last day to fill them out.

Mark Zellers, who has donated loads of time and expertise around the Post (He and Laura Mills built our awesome deck) will be offering a Smoked Porkchop Breakfast with potatoes, eggs cooked to order, and toast for $12. Yes. You read that right. $12 on November 10th. What a delicious treat for the Marine Corps Birthday.

There’s more, much more, but you’re just going to have to download the calendar or stop by the Post and pick one up to find out about all of it.

Here’s your November 2024 Post Calendar:
