We hold our membership meetings on the second Wednesday of every month at 10:00AM at Post 166.  Lunch follows for those interested .

We are a community of  volunteers serving veterans, military, and their families.    We support our Post, our Veterans, our community , and our children and youth with fundraising activities throughout the year that include:

Poppy Donations

 May is Poppy Month

The red poppy is a nationally recognized symbol of sacrifice worn by Americans since World War I to honor those who served and died for our country in all wars. All donations received from the sales are used for programs that support veterans in need, and their families.  Donations for Poppies may be made at the Post, and  at  Walden Woods (various times) .

Poppy's are distributed on Poppy Day (the last Friday of May), Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
