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.
Rosemary Danielewicz
Troop Chairperson
Students at Brewerton Elementary School
honored by Cicero Legion and Auxiliary for
the massive amount of card donation to the
troops. Certificate of Appreciation was
presented.
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.

pages of pictures from present and past
events, members, officers, anything you
