FROM YOUR POST COMANDER:
Hello everyone, another year in full swing. Meetings and Ceremonies
inside and outside of the Post. Our cookouts, Bingo and Fish Fry's are still
moving forward. More work in the kitchen with the stove and hookups.
Sean Kane does our electric work and landscaping. We have Shawn
Owens, Scott Woods and Betty Luther taking care of the Post business
making me look excellent!!! Bev Muns our great kitchen manager has the
lovely and talented Deena as assistant in the kitchen and Bev is lovely and
talented also. Ken Munds fixes many things in our kitchen and etc. We
have Mary who does an amazing job as our events manager and along with
her husband Mac working Bingo and calling.A big thanks to our Ladies
Axillary and Son's of the American Legion for all they contribute to out
Post. I thank everyone for their hard work and please other members, come
forward and help out Your Post!!!

BINGO COMMITTEE:
We would like to thank the new member
of the Post family who have recently steped up
to help during Bingo. Christina McGuire, Sean
Golliher, and Nick Hozian have all pitched in,
and their help has been awesome. We still need
more help, both with the Bingo itself and the
kitchen during Bingo, and all donations are
gratefully accepted. Even if you can only spare
one night a month, that would relieve the regular
staff for an occasional break. This is important
work, which supports a large percentage of the
Post’s costs and events, and if the Bingo was to
be reduced to one night a week because of
staffing, we would lose a great deal of money.
The Bingo Committee was happy to help
out in paying for the recent repairs to the walkin
cooler, which totaled over $2100.

Bingo Manager
From The Finance Officer:
The finance report as of September 21st is as
follows:
The General Fund: $640

Bingo Fund: $2665

We have had large kitchen expenses this
month. The walkin and the grill have both
gone down and are being repaired. Come on
out and patronize your Post #3!

Legion members, its time to step up and pay your

person or persons who would be interested in joining
the American Legion let us know. Don't forget to
come to the Friday Fish Fry, Sunday and

your support.
Ken Muns
Senior Vice
My fellow Legionnaires,
For the past 9 years I have been a volunteer in the capacity of transportation coordinator to assist veterans in getting to and from their
medical appointments in Prescott, Phoenix, and Flagstaff. We currently provide services for 400-600 clients who live in Northern Arizona.
Because I have has recent changes to my health, I find it necessary to step down from a full time volunteer status. This means I can no
longer cover the coordinator’s desk Monday through Friday. I am appealing to anyone who is willing to step up to this voluntary position to
insure that our veterans can continue to get transportation assistance to their medical appointments to receive needed treatment. As my
health permits, I will assist any new volunteers in learning the coordinator’s position. Any volunteers please obtain an application packet
from the DAV transportation office in the Post. Please help those who have helped us with their service to our country in the past.
Sincerely, Karl Snider
LAST WORD: Many thanks to the crew (Ken Muns, Mike Brabeck, Wayne DeBons, Ron Kosola, and Steve Surface) who spent an
entire day working on the kitchen stove. It was a dirty job, and someone had to do it. Also, in addition to the vote coming up on
13OCT15 regarding the dues increase, we have, with the help of Lyman Grover, a VERY astute volunteer from the NAU RSVP
Program, developed a new Post Constitution and By-Laws, which we will be expecting to vote on in the December 2015 General
Meeting. These documents will be available in the Post for review, and posted on the website shortly, so everyone who is
interested can view them. Meanwhile, the newsletter, calendars, and other info on upcoming events can be found on our website,
