There has been a lot happening at the Post and still a lot more to come. We finally have the new flat screen TV's in place and they couldn't have been placed at a better time with football Sunday's in full swing. How nice it is to watch the game with such clarity and sound. Drinks and prizes are also given away, you can't beat that.
The Dart and Pool leagues are also in full swing and soon the Poker league will be starting. Come down and enjoy the fun!
Our VFW Auxiliary is partnering with the Carlton County Veterans Service Office (CVSO) to provide holiday meals for Veterans and their families in need. This is a worthy cause to help families in need during times that are supposed to be festive. Our Veterans have given a lot to ensure our safety and freedom, it's time to do our part to help them in their time of need. Donations and Volunteers will be needed, read this flyer to see how you can help.
The 239th Marine Corps Birthday is coming up and we are having a Marine Corps Ball on November 8th at our Post. If you are a Marine of know one, you are welcome to join in the celebration and camaraderie.
Don't forget about the comedy/magic show coming up on October 25th at our Post. This is also in conjunction with a fundraiser for the Northland Honor Flight so come on down, have a good time, enjoy a great meal and support a good cause. It's also the weekend of our 8th District meeting so stop in and meet up with some old friends or make new ones. See you there.

We are back in full swing at the Post this month with the Steak/Fish Fry next Friday, Sept 12th and Burger Nights on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays. And we're starting something new this month as well, we will be open on Sundays for the football games. There are also quite a few leagues starting up too, like the Pool Leagues, Dart Leagues and now even a Poker League. Come on down to the Post and join in on all the excitement.
Guess who is turning 100 years old? The Ladies Auxiliary is. On September 12th, the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars will celebrate their 100th Anniversary serving Veterans and the community. And what a great job they've done! Congratulations and Happy Anniversary.
And the VFW is also celebrating an Anniversary this month. On September 29th, the Veterans of Foreign Wars is celebrating 115 years of service to Veterans. We've come a long way and have accomplished a lot with our programs and benefits but there is still a long way to go before the battle is over. Our membership is dwindling and as our numbers fall, politicians see that as an opportunity to take away some of those benefits we've earned. We need our membership to keep going up so that our voice is not lost on the hill. Renew your membership now and recruit new members before it's too late.

There hasn't been much going on at the Post during the summer, but things are starting to pick up now. The kickoff of the Annual Steak/Fish Fry will be starting next week (Friday Aug 15th) along with the Auxiliary's Country Store to raise money for Cancer Awareness (a very awesome and worthy project). We also have Build Your Own Burger Nights starting up the following week on Thursday, so come down and build that burger just the way you like it for only $4.00.

It's actually starting to feel like summer and some are all ready complaining about the heat, I say "Bring it on". The sun brings life and thoughts of brighter times ahead. Time to do away with the doom and gloom of winter and enjoy life, enjoy the sun and celebrate new beginnings. We all just shared in the 4th of July celebration, a celebration of a new beginning for our nation 238 years ago and still going strong. It was a beautiful day (except for the downpour of rain at mid-day) but the rest of the day was fine. There were a lot of activities going on at Veterans Park after the parade. Our Bingo under the Tent and our Beer Tent were a huge success. We were even on the evening news (channel 10/13). We look forward to the opportunity to do it again next year. With all the celebrating going, where ever you were, I hope you had time to reflect on how we are able to celebrate our freedom, and had the opportunity to thank a Veteran for ensuring our freedoms are not taken for granted and for helping to keep America free.
