Other items of interest.
We have not received official word yet, but I expect to have our annual “cookie drop” sometime in January.
This is an important fund raiser for the Post. Depending on the number of cases of cookies we will deliver
to the Girl Scouts will determine of number of volunteers we will need.
I expect we will need about 12-18 volunteers. This will commence about 0800 and will continue until
approximately 1500 hours. The Post will furnish lunch for all. As soon as I hear from the Elks as to the
date and location, I will get that information out.
On the schedule you will see we have (2) breakfast events, and (1) dinner event.
All of these events are fund raisers for the Post.
The more people we have come in to eat brings more revenue to the Post.
Please come out and support the Post.
Dues. As of last week we were at roughly 87% of our target for dues renewal. We have about 40 who have yet to pay.
It is important to get your dues money in to continue your years of service to the Legion.
I hope all of you had a great Christmas and will have a Happy New Year.

Arlington Post 060 voted to re-activate their Sons of the American Legion Charter,
known as Sons of the American Legion Squadron 60 or SAL Squadron 60.
In the November newsletter I misquoted the membership dues. Member dues for the SAL have been set at:
SAL members $25.00; Duel members $20
Minor members $10.00. Pass the word.
If you are interested in joining the Sons of the American Legion, or becoming a duel member,
or want to sign you minor son or grandson up, we will have a SAL membership sign up at the lodge January 13th at 1300 hours.
I have to have the DD214 or equivalent of the person, parent or grandparent, you are coming in under.
They also have to be a Legionnaire unless deceased.

We are located at 601 W Pioneer Pkwy Arlington, TX 76010. The ELKS Lodge #2114 has agreed to sponsor our post at their Lodge.
As a non-member of the ELKS, you will need to be signed in as a guest. We will have a member of the ELKS there to sign you in.
On meeting nights, the last Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm, you can sign yourself in, just enter your name and post 60.
We hope that this will enable our post to grow and prosper.
