Hail & Farewell

Lorraine Bailey, our immediate former Auxiliary Unit President, has transferred from Unit 758 for personal reasons.  All of us in the Legion family thank Lorraine for her contributions to the Post 758 Family, and wish her well in her new endeavors.  We will, of course, continue to keep her and Jim in our thoughts and prayers.

Children’s Christmas Party–2008 Has Been Cancled

Santa Gets A Break from the North Pole; Brings Gifts and Smiles to Post 758

The first snow event of December 2007  didn’t keep Santa from his appointed round at our Post Home on December 2, for our Children’s Christmas Party.   Kids and parents were treated to brunch (a Power For The Troops tuneup for Jim Muska) ; the docents from the Ross Park Zoo brought furry and scaled friends for the kids of all ages to get up close and personal with.

The crowd was down, thanks to the weather, but we’re sure next year’s edition will be just as memorable for the children of Legion family members.   Our Auxiliary took the lead in planning this activity; we’re sure they will appreciate your constructive suggestions for next year’s event–the earlier, the better.

Auxiliary Happenings for 4th Quarter of 2008

With Thanksgiving and Christmas just around the corner, it starts a busy time for all of here at post 758. I would like to start out by saying “hi and thank you” for your ladies continued support through out the  year.Remember we meet on the second TUESDAYof every month at our post home at  7:00 pm. Please try and attend to keep our communication line open between us and the Legion and Son’s. We have to continue to work together or we’re all doomed. DECEMBER 14th, 2008 is our annual “Power For The Troops” breakfast with Bill Flynn broadcasting live from our hall. Our Auxillary members will also be holding a bake sale the same morning so please come have breakfast and buy some “goodies”. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and Healthy and Happy New Year, Your President,  Carol McMurray.

Children’s Christmas Party in December

The Christmas Party usually held in December will not be held this year due to lack of support and general funds set aside forthi event. Santa will likely visit Post 758 on December 14, 2008. The commander of the Son’s of the American Legion Post 758 has made contact with the North Pole to schedule the visit.
