Post Dispatch: November 2017

From the Commander:

I would like to start by thanking everyone for their patience as we work to transition our newsletter to an online edition. All of the committees within the Post are working on putting together a “year in review” to bring everyone up to date on what they have been up to this year.

One of our biggest accomplishments is the opening of the Disabled Veteran Outdoor Dining Area which is at about 90% completion. We look forward to holding a grand opening in the Spring and having our members enjoy the outdoor area and the beautiful Spring weather.
