"AT THE ROCKET”
VFW Post 4534
10.12.2020
Greetings Rocket Post,
Ah yes, another Monday is here and I hope
everyone is feeling great. I don’t know about the rest of you but I am ready to
open our Post back up and this time I hope it is for good.
For all the Auxiliary members, this month’s
meeting was scheduled for this Wednesday the 14th of Oct. The
meeting has been cancelled. Any concerns or questions please feel free to
contact you Aux President or Sr. Vice.
Some of you may have been by the post and
saw the parking lot upgrade. We had a few volunteers come in last Friday and
paint lines for the handicap parking area. You will notice the Purple Heart
parking spot is wider than the rest. The reason for that is for those needing
van access for additional assistance when exiting and entering their vehicle. What
you do not see is the inside of the post. You will need sunglasses upon entry
when you get there on the 18th because the floors look like a sheet
of glass. The entire hall and canteen have been stripped and waxed to a high
gloss. Looks fantastic!
Ah yes the count down. 6 days and we will
be open again. We had a lot of requests to put the tables around the bar again
with the three chairs. Seems people are more comfortable sitting with their
friends and family and actually seeing each other when they are talking. We
will be back to Friday night dinner starting on the 23rd with, you
guessed it, Steak or Pork Chop dinner so mark your calendar.
The Auxiliary has decided to push back the
"Fall Festival” which was scheduled for 7 November and make it a "Spring Fling”
early in 2021. This will give a bit more time working out the details and
coordinating for the entertainment and all the other logistical requirements
involved. I will let you know the date when it is confirmed by the Auxiliary.
Another change to the calendar is our Post
Clean up. I had hoped to do this on 24 October but the Commander wants to be
there to help and he will be away on a VFW commitment that weekend, as will a
few other board members. So, we will be doing our Post Clean up on 31 October,
Saturday 8:00 AM thru 3:00 PM I need volunteers to help get the post cleaned
up. This will include inside and outside. We are looking at some areas that
need paint; the screen room needs to be cleaned top to bottom as well as all
the furniture. The ditch behind the screen room needs to be cleared. Those that
helped last year know that with more help it is really an easy task. I hope to
have as much help and more this year.
Everyone
have a great week and hopefully Mother Nature will continue to bless us with
fantastic weather. I look forward to seeing you all once we are open again. In
the meantime if you need anything please do not hesitate to call. Our commander,
as well as those of us on the board, are here for you.
Have a wonderful
week.
