1223 CLUB NEWS

MENS AUXILIARY PRESIDENTS CORNER by Joshua Haugen Summer time, summer time, summer time. I hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather we are having even though it always seems to happen during the week and not on the weekend.
I would like to thank everyone for their support this last year with all of our breakfasts we served, as well the help we received from the Junior Girls. We are always trying to improve on how we serve and what we serve to keep everyone one happy. If anyone has any suggestions for our breakfast please feel free to contact myself or any member of the Men's Auxiliary. This year's Cowboy Up Kick-Off was our best year yet just edging out last year's donations, thanks to everyone one for coming out and enjoying the pulled pork dinner and the silent auction. The Men's Auxiliary still looks to be the largest single donator to the Cowboy Up Ride Against Cancer. The Cowboy Up Ride raises money all year long for the ROGER MARIS CANCER CENTER. I hope to keep that tradition going with everyone's support I believe we can do just that. President Men's Auxiliary Josh Haugen

Thursday Night is our famous Steak or Shrimp Night which includes a drink with your order. For the prices you can't cook at home that cheap. The deck is open all the time unless there is something going on in the banquet room. I get many compliments how nice it is being outside on the deck so come enjoy while the weather is hot and sunny or even if it is raining as it is enclosed. Thank you to all that come down and patronize the club. Hope to see many of you there! In closing remember all of our Veterans that have served and the ones that continue to serve our country. Loyally, Crystal

COMMANDERS CORNER
by Jason Hicks
Greetings Comrades: As I write this it is hard to believe that summer is almost 1/3 past. As usual business at the club has slowed down considerably especially the weekends (This happens every summer). But there are still things going on. Parade season is here and currently we have five parades that the Post color guard and Ladies Auxiliary are marching in. Look for new events at the club after the summer/lake season. Also if anyone has ideas of how we can improve things please tell me. Crystal Hughes does a great job running our club but likes suggestions; we have tried with lots of different things. But in my opinion there is always something that can be done better. Also, if you get a chance, please stop by the American Legion and look at the new memorial it is truly a work of art and they did a great job with it. In closing I would ask you to keep those serving in the Armed Forces in your thoughts and prayers. Please enjoy your celebration of Independence Day and always remember that Freedom is NOT FREE. Yours in Comradeship Jason
