News from the Commander
I would like to thank Dave Golic for providing an excellent meal on St. Patty’s Day. If you didn’t come in and try it you missed an awesome meal. He provided smoked corned beef which we made Reubens and had a meal of corned beef with cabbage and potatoes.
Our Lent Fish Fry’s are from 5:00-7:30 through April 15th. If you haven’t been out to try our Fish Fry or would like to support your Post by volunteering that would be great. I would like to thank everyone that have volunteered and supported this event. Volunteers are always welcome and it doesn’t have to be the whole time-frame, remember many hands make light work. We also have a group of High School students who are helping and they are doing a fantastic job.
I am happy to announce that now on Wednesdays during Queen of Hearts one of our members will be grilling Hamburgers and making Fresh-Cut Frys for $7.00.
Upcoming events:
- On March 29th is Vietnam Memorial Day and I hope to see you all at the club where we will have a cake celebrating our Vietnam Veterans.
- If you are a Veteran and are interested in running for one of our Officer positions our 2nd nominations and voting will be at our Regular Meeting on April 28th at 7:00pm. If you have questions about what the Officers and Trustees are responsible for ask one of the current Officers.
- The Cuyahoga Falls Memorial Day Parade Committee is still moving forward with the current plans and are expecting a good turnout since we haven’t had a parade in two years!
- May 7th from 12:00-4:00 is the 1st car show of the year. This car show is going to be “Blessing the Parking Lot” which will be a fundraiser for us to help the Post fix our parking lot.
- May 21, 2022 we are having a fundraiser to help raise funds for the parking lot. We are hosting a Hawaiian Pig Roast. This will be a catered event and ticket MUST be purchased in advance. They are available at the Post. We will have games and raffles to entertain you.

- April 5th – Gold Star Spouses Day
- April 6th – Army Day

I’m excited that our Auxiliary is working closely with the post and we are all making things happen. I’m so excited that we can come together and finally have fun. We have had a hard time the last 2 years due to the pandemics. I’m looking forward to the upcoming months.
Thanks everyone and remember to thank our Vets.
