Message from Commander Jackie Tribolet
JULY BREAKFAST IS SET FOR THE 13th!
Summer's here. And what better way to meet friends and celebrate our nation's independence than gathering at the Post for the Annual 4th of July Pancake Breakfast. The breakfast is prepared by and benefits Scout Troop 43. They begin with a flag raising ceremony at 7:45. Breakfast is served from 8:00 to 11:00 and includes pancakes and syrup, sausages, coffee, juice and a spot to await the festive July 4th parade. Tickets are $15/adults and $10/children. And for $5 each, the American Legion will be selling enriched OJ in the form of their famous gin fizzes. Gotta have that vitamin C!
There are two reasons to note the 2nd Monday of the month which will be July 8th. At 9:00 AM the executive board meets in the Club Room. Starting at 5:30 PM the Hall will be alive with musical entertainment. Ragtime piano is from 5:30-7:30 and the Zenith Jazz Band performs until 9:30. These talented musicians entertain us for free, but we encourage generous tipping to cover their travel costs. Bring your own drinks and snacks and prepare for a fun evening. I dare you to keep your feet still!
The second Saturday of each month, which falls on July 13th, is the Post 313 famous $5 breakfast! Not just economical, but cooked by our own talented chefs. We strongly suggest reservations as space is limited. Email bobsrags@gmail.com and give your name and number of people coming with you.
We welcome any interested vets to our Monday and Thursday 8:30 AM gatherings in the Club Room. We offer coffee and conversation, and a chance to meet other vets and find out what's going on in our community.
Last week we were joined by Amanda Lopez, a social worker from the SFVA. She shared with us a new approach to preventing suicides among vets by reaching out from our own communities. She offers one-hour workshops to provide individuals with ways to recognize who are at risk and direct them to help. We will share more information if we host a workshop.
The American Legion thrives on its members, so please consider joining the Post. We're saving a seat for you!
