Greetings Comrades,

Greetings and salutations to everyone.  I am sorry for not having a news letter out more consistently and I am hoping this  new format will be more informational and user friendly.  Let me start off by wishing everyone a wonderful Labor Day weekend coming up and I hope you all had a great summer.  

Some news of note about the post, we are having a great time with our Bingo Event on the 3rd Friday of the month, doors open at 5 and games start at 6.

We are looking to make the post more of a social place than just meeting and fundraising events, so please reach out to me with some suggestions; poker night has been brought up, Corn Hole games, family events as well. 

Some other events coming up next, the Marine Corp League is having a dedication ceremony on September 10th at 1800 hours at the building for their Sky Mote Honor Wall.  There will be pizza and refreshments provide so please come out and support the Marine Corp League.

We are working to recruit "younger" people into the post and will be out and about at some events in the community next month so come by and say Hi.

I just learned of another great deal for being a veteran, Grocery Outlet in Placerville (Broadway store) has a Hero Savings card, get $3.00 off every time you spend $35.00 and in this day and age every little bit helps.

If you have suggestions or ideas for the post please email me at vfw2680cc.gmail.com with your ideas.
Thank you

Seth Culver

 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
