June Newsletter
June 2026 Newsletter
June arrives on barefoot dawns,
With jasmine air and golden lawns.
Vineyards wake in emerald light,
Long days linger into night.
Children chase the firefly glow,
Warm winds teach the roses grow.
Summer whispers through each tree,
Calling hearts to wander free,
While sunsets paint the western sky
Where swallows dance and dreamers sigh.
The Post will celebrate the beginning of Summer with a Steak BBQ on Wednesday May 10, 2026. Social hour 1800. Dinner to fallow at 1900. The menu will be a steak BBQ, accompanied by Flash’s favorite mashed potatoes, all carefully prepared and served by our CIA chefs, Jay Avila & George Nickas. Dinner will be $30.00, which is a deal given the price of beef.
