Every year for the past five years the Post has prepared our sweethearts a dinner
to show our appreciation for all their assistance and help.
This year our dinner will be held on February 12, 2003. Social hour will start at 6 p.m.
and dinner at 7 p.m. The menu will be spaghetti, salad and garlic bread--all you can eat.
We welcome all your friends and family. Don't forget those grandkids--we have plenty of
room and food. It's a great time to show prospective members that we have a great family
and have fun!
We ask that you make reservations by calling the Auxiliary President Bonnie Chavoya,
(530)885-6378 or Post Commander John Blazevic (530)823-1951. This will allow us to ensure enough food and
seating.
As we all know a Post can not exist without a very active Auxiliary--let's show them just
how much we care!
Any Post member that would like to assist with the dinner please call Adjutant Court Bradbury
at (530)888-8188.
We will need members to set up the hall, and clean up after. Also, please bring a raffle gift.
This will offset the cost of the dinner and allow us to continue offering a free dinner.
Come out and have a great dinner and good fellowship!
First of all, I want to thank all of you who dontated items for the Veterans at the Reno Hospital
and at the Yountville Home. And thanks to the ladies who sorted them and packed them
to send. Everything and everyone is much appreciated.
Department VA & R Chairman, Melanie Taylor is asking all Unit Chairmen to compile
a Unit Christmas report on all our veterans activites. Included, we need the total
number of volunteers, total hours, total expenditures and total number of veterans
served in each VA Facility, Field Service and Home Service categories.
I need this information as soon after Christmas as you can get it to me. The
district chairman needs it by January 10, 2003. I know many of you have done a lot
and we need to report it to Department who in turn will report it to National. Please
send this information to Ruth Gray, 450 Gladycon Rd., #53, Colfax, CA 95713. Or
telephone at (530)346-9433. I can also accept email :rogray@vfr.net, or
fax(530)346-9485.
Thank you all in advance.
Also, I have information sending greetings and mesages to our service men and women. This
came from the "Dear Abby" column and is in cooperation with Department of Defense. A computer
can be used to send an e-mail. You can type in .www.OperationdearAbby.net or click
on this link. This is the alternative to the previous program of sending cards which
had to be suspended for safety reasons. This came from Edward A Pardini, Deputy
Director, Military Postal Service Agency, Department of Defense. This Website is
safe, secure and accessible for all members of the armed forces deployed worldwide.
I intend to send a message from our Unit 84 as a whole and hope that some of you will
be able to send a message which, I am sure, will be much appreciated. Keep track of this
also.
Thanks again, and I wish you all a very Happy Holiday Season.
