Greetings....<br />
You<br />
are hereby<br />
ordered for<br />
induction<br />
into supporting<br />
the<br />
entertainment and events<br />
of <strong>Post</strong> <strong>496</strong>. Remember<br />
that we put on the dinners<br />
and entertainment for all<br />
of you the members of<br />
our <strong>Post</strong>. Please come<br />
Greetings<br />
from the<br />
Chaplain.<br />
This<br />
newsletter<br />
should<br />
arrive<br />
sometime<br />
between the Christmas<br />
and New Year holidays. I<br />
hope that all of you have<br />
enjoyed the season and<br />
are getting ready to enjoy<br />
a Happy New Year.<br />
Take note though of the<br />
good things that happened<br />
to us all in 2011.<br />
We shared both happy<br />
times and sad times as<br />
well.<br />
We lost Dennis Brady and<br />
Sol Cunha since the last<br />
newsletter. We received<br />
news in October that Dennis<br />
had passed away last<br />
January. Sol Cunha’s<br />
out support these events<br />
and if you seldom or never<br />
come by, come out<br />
and meet people that<br />
share the same interests<br />
as you. Come out support<br />
the events that are put on<br />
by your <strong>Post</strong>. Membership<br />
alone does<br />
not support the programs<br />
that we work<br />
so hard on. It takes<br />
all of you to come<br />
Don Walsh Chaplain<br />
passing in late October<br />
was only the second female<br />
veteran that died in<br />
my time here at <strong>496</strong>. She<br />
served in the Army in the<br />
Philippine Islands during<br />
World War II. We extend<br />
our sincere condolences<br />
to their families and loved<br />
ones.<br />
<strong>Post</strong> <strong>496</strong> continues to be<br />
an influence in our community<br />
as we support our<br />
veterans and those on<br />
active duty. Our club<br />
room has remained a<br />
wonderful place to see<br />
friends we care about,<br />
catch up on the news,<br />
have a cold drink or share<br />
a meal. If you have not<br />
stopped by in a while you<br />
are really missing out.<br />
And perhaps you all have<br />
a New Years Resolution<br />
out participate and do<br />
your part as a Veteran....<br />
Happy New Year!<br />
Till next time...<br />
God Bless<br />
that you will try to stick<br />
too. Statistically, most<br />
are about weight loss or<br />
the stopping of smoking<br />
or drinking. The focus of<br />
both Lent and Rosh<br />
Hashanah lead believers<br />
to become “better” whether<br />
through reflection or<br />
self sacrifice. Others favorites<br />
are to make more<br />
time for family and<br />
friends, complete one of<br />
your personal “bucket<br />
items” or to become more<br />
organized. The editor of<br />
this newsletter is wishing<br />
that last one for yours<br />
truly.<br />
I’m hoping that 2012 finds<br />
us better in everyway. A<br />
good start to that would<br />
be to love one another.<br />
Happy New Year to all.<br />
