FROM THE COMMANDER …
I’d like to thank everyone for their support of the Post and its activities. This summer has been unusually busy for everyone and as a post, we’ve been quite busy. So “THANK YOU” for all your support.
Since my last report we’ve found a sale on Weber Grills and at the next Executive Board meeting I will ask the Board for permission to obtain one to replace the old wreck of a grill that we have now. If you remember, we tried to use it at our last Brat Barn and it was a disaster. Almost as bad as the “brand new” one that Festival had. So, at the last General Membership meeting we broached the subject of replacing and upgrading. Hopefully with your support, we’ll be obtaining a new one soon.
In the meantime, we had two very successful Breakfasts. Many thanks are also to our SAL Squadron, our Auxiliary and to the Post members and their guests who made it happen. Keith. Lena, Glenn and the Ladies worked their bottoms off and we again turned a modest profit. Out of this we did discover two things. First, A clean ship is a safe and happy ship! Friday as the set-up crew came in, they found a stench coming out of the kitchen area. On investigation, they found a rotten bag of potatoes on a cart in the back corner of the kitchen. It’s suspected that they had sat there since the spring Booyah sale. The take away is that we need to be very thorough during clean ups. We’ll also talk about this during the General meeting. What I’d like to propose is a dedicated clean up-crew to come in after we have an event at the Post.
Finally I want to thank Terry Quatsoe, Rick Young and all the others who helped out at the Brown County Fair. I wasn’t available this past weekend due to previous commitments and I appreciate they're mobilizing on such short notice to make this happen.
I’m looking forward to seeing you at the next meeting.
Commander Bill Kaczmarek
