The Third District meeting held last month at Post 95 was a big success. Thanks to the Auxiliary and Ernie Gilliam for a fine job with the meal.   I received many good comments.  As always, everyone worked hard in making this a big success.

As you can see by looking at our calendar, we have a lot going on this month.

One event is the 50th Remembrance of William E. Blair which will be held at the Post on September 30, at 6 PM.  Wally Carpenter and the committee put a lot of time and effort into making this a big celebration, so please try and attend.

Also, we will have a new band, which I understand is very good, on Sept 17. Everyone should try to stay after the regular monthly meeting and enjoy.  Let's give them a big welcome.

The Auxiliary is hosting the Gold Star Mothers ceremony at Post 95 on Sept 26, at 2 PM.  This will be a good event.

I look forward to seeing everybody at our Labor Day picnic on Monday, Sept. 6, at 5 PM, as well as other events this month.

Prayer: Ephesians 1-8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.

We must keep these members in our prayers: Jim Smith, Bob Doss, Harry Flannigan, Bob Gentry, Jack Collins, Glenn Baker and Robert Gray.

Let us remember these members in Post Everlasting: Ben Quattebaum, James Gilbert, Bartlett Allen, Everette Boswell, Samuel Bowman, and James McDonald.

The next SAL meeting will be Friday, September 17, at 8 PM, upstairs at the Post. We will elect officers at this meeting. Everyone please try to attend. Membership renewal time is here. If you have not gotten your 2000 membership card, please plan to do it soon.
