Message from the Post Commander, Kristie Young, SFC, US Army (Ret)
Legionnaires,
We are quickly coming to the end of Summer and the weather is finally starting to cool off. Good thing, too, as we head into the busy fall and holiday seasons. The post held its annual Patriot Day Car Show sponsored by Mitchell Buick-GMC. We had volunteers from ASU’s Kappa Sigma Fraternity and from the 316th Training Squadron at Goodfellow. We also had a team accepting flags for retirement at the Tire Turn-in with Keep San Angelo Beautiful out at the Coliseum. Both events were successful with many prospective new members attracted. We even had 3 veterans express interest in the Legion Cruisers program!
Following our 21 September monthly meeting, our next big event is the San Angelo Chili Pod’s Chili Cook-off, 12-13 October, at Riverside Golf Course. November is also full of events with the Veterans Day Parades in San Angelo (morning) and Christoval (afternoon) on 9 November and the AVC Thanksgiving Dinner for Veterans the following weekend.
In December, we will be honoring the men and women who died during the bombing of Pearl Harbor on 7 December. We will not have our regular membership meeting in December. Instead, as is our tradition, we will be bell-ringing for the Salvation Army at the Sherwood Walmart. A sign-up sheet will be available at the November meeting for 1-hour time slots.
As you can see we have a busy schedule over the next couple of months. I would love to see more of our members come out to support our post events. If you can only spare an hour, we’d love to see you. Our post can only be a success through the participation of our members. Please take some time to look at the Events Calendar and Community Events section to see everything we are involved in and pick one that piques your interest.
Finally, as we head into the holiday season, remember to reach out to veterans and their families both in our community and to those with whom you served around the world. You’d be surprised how much a short conversation can brighten the day of another person, to remind them that they are not alone. Be the One!
