Helping to feed the homeless
I want to thank all the Members who picked up a casserole pan and recipe
My Jr. Vice commander Mike Tuckman and I handed out 82 pans over a 3 day period.
We've just finished delivering 75 casseroles to two churches who feed the many homeless in and around Sussex county.
We will be ordering more pans and handing them out next week during cheese steak, FF, and Saturday nights.
Pick up ,follow recipe bake , bring back to post Frozen if possible.
We will be delivering every Third week.

MEMORIAL PARK CEREMONY

―Our Memorial Park is meant to be a sacred place,
a place of honor, a place of dignity and respect,
a place of reflection, a place of remembrance, and a place of solace.
Commander John Gossart Jr

―I encourage everyone to come and sit or just
walk around the Memorial to consume the spirit
of this place. Soak in its importance and greatness.
Auxiliary President Dale Weese Jr

You can still purchase bricks. We will always continue to accept bricks forever. We still have space for more than 2000. As we worked with each of you buying bricks we felt the emotions you held in your heart to honor or to remember your loved ones. This will truly be a special place to visit and feel the radiation of Love, Honor, and Respect for those who served this Country and this Post. Thank you to those who have purchased bricks and to those who have not we hope you will consider purchasing a lasting tribute to someone who served this Country and our Post. God Bless You.
