The Post Auxiliary will host the dinner this month. Lawler’s ravioli, salad, bread, butter and dessert. Vice Commander Rick Crebs has the gavel as I will be in Antartica. Thank you Mr Vice and ladies of the Auxiliary for holding the fort. Please email if you plan to attend.
I’m saddened to report the passing of a fine Marine fighter pilot.
Don Fraser flew west last month. Our thoughts and prayers are with Dianne and family.
The Post capital improvements are near completion. The bench out front was restored per Sergeant at Arms Rodney Green’s request along with a beautifully sculpted octagonal bench around the redwood tree. With the addition of string lighting to go the back lot will be primed for a nice Spring or Summer cook out. Mr Vice wants steaks…We upgraded the electrical sub panel, plumbing to the bar (have to keep the bartender happy), had non skid added to the stairs, and trimmed the trees away from the building.
I’m very happy to report Jack Oliver has stepped up to lead the Post’s Boys and Girls State program. Many thanks to him along with Nick and Marilyn Coy for their 22 years of service. No Jack, I’m not throwing out a challenge:)
There will be no Board meeting in February and no Auxiliary meeting either as they’ll be busy with the dinner.
The Post sent a $2500 donation to the Veterans affected by the fires in Southern California as we did with the Maui Veterans. We’re sponsoring the SHLL Eagles team and will see the Manager, coaches, and players at the March dinner.
Keep Fras in your thoughts… Semper Fidelis Marine.
