Announcements

Canteen
The Canteen is running out of chips. If you have chips at home, please bring them in to the Post and use them. Sorry, there can be no cash redemptions allowed.

Editor
I am trying to get a list of Veteran-Owned Small Business (especially VFW members) together to post on our bulletin board. If you know of someone, please reply and give me the name of the business, what they do, address and phone numbers. At this time, I have only received 2 responses and I will have to abort this attempt. Please support your VFW comrades and let me know of veteran-owned small businesses, especially if they are VFW members. We want to support our veteran-owned small businesses and help them out.

As you can see, volunteers are drying up and we need volunteers for all of our meal services, especially pizza night, Fridays and Sundays for breakfast. Please let me know if you would like to volunteer and what times you are available (first Friday every month, first Sunday every month, etc.). Without the support of every one we will have to stop serving certain meals and that will always take away from our canteen profits every week. Thank you for at least considering volunteering for 1 meal service per month.

The Veteran Villages Annual Picnic will be held on March 21st at Fort McCoy. We hope you can attend. It will be a day of fun, especially for families. If you are able to attend Post 7909 will have some of our bartenders attending to all of your beverage needs.
