Hi
Everyone,
This is a plea to all , we are asking for holiday
cards for the troops as it is getting late in the
season. All I am asking is that maybe you talk to
your fellow co workers and ask them to sign a card
or two for the troops overseas. We all know how
lonely the holidays are when we are away from
family, some of these troops have missed other
holidays with their loved ones. All I am asking is
that you DO NOT SEAL THE ENVELOPE..
Any questions please feel free to call me .
Let's show our troops Cicero American Legion is
thinking of them.
Thank You, Rosemary Danielewicz
Troop Chairperson
Thank You
I would like to Thank the many, many people who
helped out for our Auxiliary Fall Conference. It was
a great success!! We served 179 people and had a lot
of compliments on the food and the Post itself. I
wish I could thank everyone by name but you know who
you are. Thanks again..
Thanks to Frank Puettner for all his help with door
and lockset repairs and many other little jobs. We
appreciate it much! Jayne Fust

New York State Fair 2008
Thanks to Mark Adams
efforts, Post 787 was represented in the Military
Tent during the entire New York State Fair this
year. Many volunteers helped spread the word about
all the great projects of our Post ... ...Thanks!!
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.
Membership to Date is

Our membership is now up to 358 with a goal
of 527.
Welcome to new members Julius Balosh; Robert
Kelly and Karl Evanoff.
The post is experiencing some difficulty
with members moving and not advising us of
the change of address. This makes membership
and correspondence difficult. REMEMBER
please notify the post of any change in
address or demise of a member. If any one is
familiar with Richard Corni, please have him
contact me at the post or leave a change of
address, he is a PUFL member, and National
has had his card for 2009 returned to them
and we cannot locate him. National will not
pay the post his dues until they can locate
him.
I would like to take this opportunity to
congratulate member Hank Henniger for his
outstanding efforts to keep our web-site
(which he has donated to the post) up to
date and interesting.
Remember, if your renewal notice is still on
your refrigerator door please mail in your
dues so that I receive them prior to
Veteran’s Day, November 11th to qualify you
for Early Bird status for the meal being
held in December.
