MESSAGE FROM THE COMMANDER
August ended with 171 members paid, 65.02% of our 2018 membership goal.
I would like to encourage you to renew your membership online at www.legion.org/renew, it's easy,
fast and secure; it saves us both paper work and the price of a stamp. I will have the cards at the meetings
if you prefer to renew then or you can mail them to the address on the renewal notice. Have you considered
being a Paid Up For Life (PUFL) Member? Check it out and see if that works for you.
Visit our website, regularly at http://www.americanlegionpost60texas.org/index.htm.
Join me in welcoming our new and transfer members: Olin Phipps, Wilburn Battles.
Purchase your raffle tickets for the Large Green Egg Grill, Navy Belt Buckle and the Henry 30/30 Lever Action Rifle.
October will be a busy month. Oct 8th is the Navy birthday celebration and raffle of the Navy Belt Buckle.
Oct 14th is the Post 60 Riders Annual Car & Bike Show (see the flyer on the website).
Oct 28th Post 60 will host the District Fall Convention.
The Green Egg Grill and the 30/30 Rifle tickets will be drawn after the close,
approximately 5:00pm, of the Convention.
The American Legion Auxiliary Unit 60 has asked the Legionnaires support in increasing their membership.
They want your eligible family members to join the unit. Applications are available at the Lodge.
Female veterans can be dual members as well.
The Auxiliary Unit 60 is raffling a poppy scarf. Proceeds will go to the poppy fund.
