I will be getting VFW & VFW Aux. updates from Dale & Joan for inclusion on this page in the near future. TREATS FOR TROOPS American Legion post 54, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2047, the American Legion Auxiliary and the Sons of the American Legion Squadron have started a program to send our men and women serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan the normal items which they do not have access to in post exchanges in other foreign countries. These items include any microwaveable foods and treats, such as popcorn and soups, vacuum packed jerky and pepperoni, candies, such as Jolly Ranchers, etc, that do not contain chocolate (except M&M's). Other items that are needed are Carmax and pre-moistened wipes. Donations can be made at the American Legion Club by anyone in the surrounding communities. There is also a donation jar to help cover mailing and postage expenses. If you have any relatives serving in combat areas, please bring their name and address to the Post so they can be included in the distribution of these collected items. All veterans, their wives, sons and daughters, members of the community and business people thank you for making this endeavor a success. SUGGESTED LIST OF ITEMS MICRO WAVEABLE VFW Post #2047 Dear Valued Post Member, Our membership is nearing 100. We lost 10 members last year, mostly due to the deaths of WW2 veterans. We have made this loss up by the addition of 8 Iraq War Veterans. We participated in Veterans Day Programs at local area schools. We could use more members attending our meetings (3rd Monday of the month, 7:00PM @ The Legion Hall). We have a close relationship with our sister post in Canada (Post 59 in Grand Forks B.C.), as visitations have gone back and forth. Thank you for your continued membership. Sincerely, Jim Mach Quartermaster |
