| SEPTEMBER, 2010 Dear Comrades, September will be a busy month for VFW Post 3165. On 9-1-10, we will be hosting the Jacobetti veterans for supper at 5:00 p.m. Lloyd Putman, our State Commander, will be in attendance, along with several invited post commanders from Marquette county. On September 17, 18, and 19, we will be hosting the 14th District Fall Rally. Once again, the State Commander will be in attendance. The itinerary for the rally is now posted in the canteen for all who are interested. Along with the daily programs, we will have entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights. On Saturday at 6:30 p.m., our banquet will start. The meal will be catered by Tudy Carlson, of Rock who has done an excellent job for us in the past. Cocktails are at 5:30. The menu is posted in the canteen, and a sign-up sheet is also available. Cribbage, men’s pool, and pinochle will also be starting in September. Refer to the enclosed calendar for dates and times. Cribbage and pinochle always seem to need subs, and more players, call the post if you are interested. Our Social Day in August was well attended this year. Good food, and a good time was had by all. Thank You to all who attended, all who did the work, and all who donated salads and desserts. “Copper” continues to beautify our deck and patio area. We receive many compliments . This area has been and continues to be a huge plus for the Post. Our first phase of basement clean-up went well, much was accomplished by few. TAPS: Charles Brock Sr., Jimmy Johnson, Kenneth Saul. Ray Rappazini Post Commander |
Men’s Auxiliary Notes
Our August meeting covered upcoming projects and events, including the Oct. 16 Oktoberfest (music 8 -12 by Country
Ramblers);
following Saturday is the semi-annual cudighi feed.
Despite sky-high pork prices, we will hold the previous cost this time.
Hopefully, our downstairs cooler will be completed before then. Problem of illness with a supplier, but we’re moving on it.
Next meeting is Tue., Sept. 27. Stop in and find out what’s in the hopper and how you can chip in and make your membership
more fulfilling.
We could still use a hand on Thursday night Bingo.
Even if you can make it one night a month, it would help out the regulars, who hesitate to take even a sick day and short the
crew.
Duty is easy, and fun, and it’s only a couple of hours.
The Ladies could use some concession volunteers. Talk to the wives, guys.
Looking back at recent newsletters,
I find I neglected to mention a new member a couple of months back: Vern Perry, you are now recognized and welcomed,
however belatedly.
We hear that the last combat troops are being withdrawn from Iraq.
Our concern is for the safety of those remaining, as well as those facing hostiles in Afghanistan.
Pray for them and for all who serve the nation, regardless of assignment. And… Fly the flag.
A thought for today:

1858)
