Misc
From the Sr Vice:
I know this may seem early, but we are already planning the Memorial Day Parade & Ceremony.
If you want to help out or you are part of a group that
would like to march in the parade, let us know.
With the work completed at town hall, we should be able to use our traditional parade route.
We will have our St. Patty's Dinner & 5 year service
pin ceremony on March 27th. The dinner is corned beef & cabbage with all the trimmings. The "Basically Blues Band" will provide the entertainment.
The next Karaoke night is March 13 at the Post.
This has become so popular we might have to
move it to the back hall.
If you have not paid your 2010 dues, please do so.
If there is a problem, let us know and we will work something out. We don't want anyone knocked off the roster.

much quicker and is a little neater. To enlarge a

Will keep you "posted" !
