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.

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
