🇺🇸 NOVEMBER IS FOR VETERANS! 🇺🇸
MARK YOUR CALENDARS & SHARE!

"Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they ever made a difference in the world. A veteran doesn’t have that problem."
— President Ronald Reagan

This November, we invite ALL Veterans to join us for a month of appreciation, fellowship, and community. Whether you're looking to reconnect with fellow Veterans, share stories, enjoy good conversation, or simply sit down to a great meal with friends, we have several opportunities planned just for you.

Most importantly, all of these events include FREE meals for Veterans and a chance to ENJOY THE CAMARADERIE of those who have shared the experience of military service. We encourage you to come out, bring a friend, and take part in the activities planned in your honor.

✅ Post 189 Veterans Meals
Beginning Tuesday, November 3rd, and continuing every Tuesday and Thursday through Thursday, November 19th, Post 189 will sponsor a FREE meal and dessert for Veterans from 10:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.

✅ Veterans Day Celebration - Wednesday, November 11th
The Watertown Moose Lodge will host a Veterans Day event featuring a Veterans Council Commemorative Program honoring all Veterans at 11:00 a.m., followed by an Honor Guard Salute. Immediately following the ceremony, Veterans, family members, and friends are invited to stay for a FREE lunch and enjoy fellowship with fellow Veterans and community members. This is your day, and we hope you'll celebrate it with us!

✅ Watertown Elks Veterans Luncheon - Monday, November 16th
The Watertown Elks Lodge will honor Veterans with a FREE noon meal at their lodge. This is another excellent opportunity to get together with fellow Veterans, enjoy a great meal, and spend time with friends old and new.

Volunteers Needed at Tractor Supply - Saturday, November 7

Tractor Supply has invited our Post to have 2-4 Legion members at their facility on Saturday, November 7, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

This is a great opportunity to share information about the American Legion, veterans' benefits, and Veterans Day with the community. Please bring a lawn chair or folding chair.

This event could help us connect with local veterans, recruit new members, and provide positive public relations for our Post.

If you are interested in volunteering, please comment on this post, email us, or contact a Post Officer directly.

Thank you for helping represent the Legion and support our veteran community. 🇺🇸

🌹 Thank You for Supporting Our Annual Rose Fundraiser! 🌹

We're grateful to share that this year's Rose Fundraiser was another success. Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we sold 420 dozen roses, generated $7,141 in sales, and raised a net profit of $3,613.

These funds will have a lasting impact, with $1,000 supporting our school scholarship fund and the remainder dedicated to our building fund. More importantly, this fundraiser brought people together. From taking orders to sorting, delivering, and picking up roses, it was a true community effort.

A special thank you goes out to our volunteers who stepped up and helped make this fundraiser possible: Steve Z., Tom B., Dan S., Steve G., Wh**ey H., Larry S., Ward G., Roger H., Dave D., Rich W., Bill G., Fred Z., Chuck C., and Gail G.

As successful as this fundraiser was, we could always use more helping hands. Volunteering is a great way to support our mission, meet fellow members, and strengthen the connections that make our organization and community thrive.

❤️ Thank you to everyone who purchased roses, volunteered their time, and helped spread the word. We couldn't do it without you!
