Greeting friends in the name of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I hope you and your families are doing well.  I had a great visit with Bill Fiedler yesterday at Brookdale Senior Living at 780 Harrington Way Folsom. His room number is 123.  Please call Bill at 530-391-3520 and let him know ahead of time that you would like to visit him.  As I was getting ready to leave, Bill looked me in the eyes and said he doesn’t get many visitors.  He asked me to ask you guys to come visit. It would be a great encouragement to him. Important dates to remember- April 9 is national former POW recognition day the 11th is Persian Gulf war official cease-fire 1991. The 12th Passover begins 13th is Palm Sunday oh yeah income tax day the 15th bummer! Good Friday the 18th Easter Sunday the 20th. Jesus was crucified on Good Friday, and taken down from a cross-and placed in a tomb. He was resurrected on Sunday. For God, so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whoever believes in Him  shall not perish, but have everlasting life! (John 3:16)Jesus died for the sins of the world. (but as many as received Him to them, He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name! (John 1:12) have a wonderful and blessed Easter!  with Jesus, love and ours for you, Doug and Liz

Greetings Comrades,

I hope all is well in your part of the world.  I would first like to start off this newsletter by recognizing a core group of veterans that always seem to step up to needs of the post; Robert Primicerio, Mike Berkery, Pete Bell, and Doug Shelstad.  These veterans always assist wherever they are needed and for the most part do not really complain too much, perhaps a little whining from time to time.  It would be great if we could give these guys a break and have some other post members come out and lend a hand.  Believe me they are not overworked and for the most part it is a fun time.

On the same vein of having fun, our first bingo night was a great success, we had a good turnout from the community and a lot of people said they will be back.  We had hotdogs and snacks for sale and next month we are having pulled pork sandwiches for sale.  It is great to see the Auxiliary and Post working together to support local veterans.

Speaking of local veterans, we still have grant money to spend on assisting local veterans.  There are a few caveats, we cannot give money straight the veteran, but we can pay utility bills, make payments towards a bill, help with property taxes, or any other assistance they may need.  If you know of a veteran in need, please reach out to us at our email address, vfw2680cc@gmail.com and we will see what we can do.

If your membership is due to expire soon, please renew your membership now or before the end of April.  The district will renew your 2026 membership for free, so basically buy one year and get the second year free.  Remember our real strength lies in numbers, it carries a great deal of weight in congress.

I am going to start calling people on the rooster to get an update email address, since we no longer mail flyers and information sent in the digital age email is the new way to communicate.

Our Buddy Poppy drive is of course coming up in May and we can always use more folks to help for a few hours at the weekends.  This is a great fundraiser and a great

recruitment tool for the post, it also gets you out of the house for a few hours and hang out with fellow vets making fun of the Marines.
Thank you
