Commander’s Comments:

Not sure if we will see any more Indian summer days now that we are firmly into November. Fall doesn’t last. The post children’s Halloween party was a huge success with our children and their families. Thank you to our Event Committee for a great party. The comments were extremely favorable. - The maintenance of the post continues to be a major focus. The patio now has lighting, and the canteen latrines have hand blowers. Hopefully this will cut down on paper rolls. If you see Lino Bartolozzi thank him. - Brian Keller continues to work behind the scenes. The middle hallway is seeing some positive movement with the Joseph J. Jacubic photo and military medals being added to a wall of prominence. The large framed knitted U.S. flag has a new home, and it will be re-hung in the hall. - Welcome to our new members and their families. We look forward to getting to know you. Erich Pfleaidermahnn - Commander.

2nd Vice Commander’s Comments: The Post 572 Children's Hall O Ween Party and Trunk n Treat was one for the ages! Over 50 kids were registered to attend the party alone and more showed up for the Trunk n Treat. All counted over 80 children and adults attended the days events which included, pumpkin decorating, Bingo and prizes, a lunch of Chicken tenders with fries, Charlie Browns Great Pumpkin video and of course plenty of candy and treats from tables in the Canteen and throughout the parking lot. Thank you to the Dart League members for their generous donations of candy, Gail and Tim Wunderle for their pumpkin crafts and ghoulish items for the gift bags. Shirley VanNiel and Amber Simon for their decorations and time putting them up and their removal, the Event Committee, the Auxiliary’s financial donation and Commander Pfleaidermahnns assistance in taking pictures. - Next up the Children's Christmas party on December 10th. Watch for details on our Facebook page and around the Canteen. Happy Thanksgiving to All! Chris Stahurski - 2nd Vice Commander
