TROOP DONATIONS NEEDED
   I am calling on all Legion members to help with our troop donation drive. Right now our box is empty and has been empty for a while now. The troops are in need of much of such items at this time due to the severe heat.
      LIP BALM-CHAPSTICK FOOT POWDER
      BOOT INSERTS  DEODORANT
      VITAMINS BUG WIPES- NO SPRAYS
POWDERED DRINK MIXES-SINGLE SERVINGS
                                  
    These are just a few much needed items, PLEASE, next time you are at the post drop off any items  you care to donate or if you would like to donate a monetary gift towards this that will work too we will do the shopping. In all the newsletters you will see and read how much our troops appreciate what we are doing for them with the care pkgs.
         With our heat rising think of how hot it is for our troops!
 

DVD REQUEST
 I have a request if anyone has any DVD's that you are no longer watching such as  Old classic movies, Comedy shows, Old westerns,  the hospital in Germany could really use them .PLEASE drop them off in the troop donation box and, if you could, put them in a bag so they’re easier to handle.

Picture Pages of Post 787 events    

 
The Flag Code suggests that, "when a flag has served its useful purpose, it should be destroyed, preferably by burning." For individual citizens, this should be done discreetly so the act of destruction is not perceived as a protest or desecration. American Legion Post 787 conduct a semi-annual Disposal of Unserviceable Flag Ceremony. This ceremony creates a particularly dignified and solemn occasion for the retirement of unserviceable flags. Drop your old, tattered or unserviceable flags in the barrel at the front bar entrance of the Post any time of the year. This service and the ceremonies are open to the community.
 
There will be no scheduled maintenance projects for the next few months. If you see something that requires some attention take a minute to fix it or let me know. Again, I would like to thank the members who helped out with painting and putting down the mulch around the building.


The winner of the scholarship award is Shaylyn Carrigan who graduates from Christian Brothers Academy and lives in Clay, NY.  She is the daughter of Patrick Carrigan, a 17 year member of the Post.  She will be attending Hartwick College in Oneonta, NY to pursue an RN degree in nursing, and hopes to work at either St. Joseph's or VA Hospital in Syracuse.  The post wishes her the best during her studies and her future.

Our membership is now up to 524 with a goal of 524
Welcome to new members Gary Snow, Ray Margetin, Sandra and John Ditro. We have reached our goal of 100% for the year of 2008. The 2009 cards have been received, so National will begin sending out the 2009 renewal notices in the beginning of July. Remember, renew before Veterans Day and go to the Early Bird dinner for free. Let’s all check with our friends and neighbors and try to enlist some new members for the year 2009. Thanks to all members for their participation in keeping our Post the largest in the County, and one of the few that reached 100% for the year.

Doug Herrmann

Adjutant and Membership Chairman
