Sr. Vice Commander

We have had several deaths this year, and have seen sickness and hospital stays for many of our veterans and their families. We send our prayers to each family for the loss of your loved ones and for a speedy recovery for the ill.

If you know of a veteran that is eligible to join our post please invite them to come by for a visit. As most of you know by now our post dues are $30.00 for continuous members and life memberships are also available. The Lady’s Auxiliary is always looking for new members and Team VFW Is looking for volunteers. If you have not visited or attended a meeting lately we miss you and hope to see you soon. The veterans meet on the 2nd and 4th Monday each month at 7pm. The Lady’s meeting starts at 6:30 pm on the first Monday of the month. Our post is growing and doing a great work in the community. Come and be part of a Post that is dedicated to you, a Veteran of a Foreign War.

The mission of the VFW is fraternal, patriotic, historical, and educational. Our goals at Post 4816 include strengthening comradeship, and assisting members in need and their families.

As the VFW is a non-profit organization and the membership dues do not even begin to cover the everyday hall operations or make any charitable contributions, we must have fundraisers. We at Post 4816, are very fortunate to have a very active “Team VFW”, which goes from one fundraiser to another, covering all areas of interests: Burial Fund, Children’s Christmas Fund, Post Operations, and others. We also have Bingo three times a week to help raise money.

To have a successful organization, we must all support these activities: join in and volunteer to assist whenever possible.

Thank you for your support.

Quartermaster
