Christmas Banquet planning.   The annual Christmas Banquet will again be held at Rutland Senior Place at 435 NW Rutland Rd.   Doors will open at 6:00 PM.   To make reservations, let Steve Iles know at our meeting that you want to attend, or you can make reservations online at the following link.   Post 281: Christmas Banquet for 2024 .   Be sure to choose your main course and your dessert.    The cost is $20 per person.   You can pay at the meeting or at the door the night of the banquet.   Special Guest Speaker for the evening will be Susan Hunter as she describes the writing of her book 77 Letters, regarding letters sent to American Soldiers in Viet Nam from her mother.   

Challenge Coin,   We have worked up a challenge coin for our post.   It will be introduced to the members on Tuesday.   The decision was made to offer members a chance to purchase their own coins to give away.   The cost of each coin will be $ 8.00 each for members.    The coins will be given away to special recipients by the post where their service to our post and our community is noted.  Attached is a working proof of the coin.    (Terry wrote this. I can’t see how to attach the proof and it looked to tiny. So I thought to make it the featured image, above. Hope you like it! JM)

 New Business,    Wreaths Across America,     New event for the post to participate in.   David Hale and 2^nd Vice Bob Snuck are our post representatives.     A member would like us to consider making this a yearly effort on the part of the post, if nothing else, just that our post should ask for a donation to contribute to the cause.   One member of our post is planning to donate $300.00

Flowers for Steven Cates, Tyler’s father, on behalf of the post.
