Comrade Karl Jordan is starting his radiation treatments again this month. Give Karl a call to say hello.

We lost a comrade last month after a short illness. Comrade Chris McWilliams passed away and was buried at Barrancas National Cemetery.

We also lost Theresa Chism’s mother, Theresa ??? mother, and Dennis Mickelsen’s father, Don Michelson.

Please keep these Comrades and Sisters in your thoughts and prayers.

If you have knowledge of a comrade in distress or the passing of a Post 706 member or affiliate member contact the Post at (850)455-0026. We should send our encouragements to those in need as soon as we learn of their situation or loss.

Listen Comrades, Cooties, Ladies, et al, 

It is so amazing that one month can slip by so rapidly.  Where does the time go?  Hopefully, some of your time is spent doing work with the VFW and/or the various auxiliaries.

The first Saturday in February (6th) will signal the resumption of the monthly Cootie steak night at 1800 hours (6 PM).  If you would take the time to let the bartender know how many and how done you wish yours cooked, it will help a lot with planning.

All Cooties are reminded that the February Scratch will be at 1101 hours (11:01 AM) on the 13th.  Nominations will be held for the officers for the ensuing year, so if you cannot be present, but wish to accept an office within the PT, please advise the SS, in writing, prior to the opening of the scratch.

The MOC and MOCA will do our best to "Keep 'Em Smilin' in Beds of White." in 2010.

Yours in L.O.T.C.S.

Hello Sisters, Thank you all for your support and working so well together to make our last dinner so successful. We are having our District Meeting here on February 6th at 10 AM. Please attend this meeting and welcome our new District President Brenda Lambrecht.

Our next dinner is on February 13^th. We will be serving spaghetti w/meatballs plus all the fixins, so come out and join us. I also want to discuss, in our next meeting coming up on the 17^th, making arrangements to do a Draw-Down before the end of May. I would like all our members to take part in this to help it be a success. We have to work hard on upcoming events to help raise money for our Charter.

I would also like to take this time to mention our deepest sympathy on the passing of one of our long time members Mildred (Millie) Kuryllo, Teresa's mother, otherwise ( Tick ) to most of her friends, and Theresa's mother otherwise known as ( T-Bird ) to her friends, Mary Lou Hall. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both. 

When you think negative we give off negative when you think positive good things happen....

Madam President

Thanks for your support for last month’s dinner.  Because you care, you made a big show of support.

Our next meeting will be held on the 11 February at 6:00 PM.

Thank you for your patronage and continued support.  GOD BLESS!!!

John Forte, President

Comrades,

Our monthly meeting is always the first Thursday of the month at 1800. So all you Riders make sure you are there. We had a very successful benefit dinner and dance for Skip and Roni Bennett. We could not have done it without the support of our membership and friends. Thank you, everyone.

We are going to support two rides coming up in March and May. Make a Wish ride will be in March and the Save a Baby ride will happen in May. A stop at the Post is scheduled.

Hello my Canteen freinds and family.

We have a lot to talk about on upcoming events. First, I want to thank all of you who came out to see "ELVIS." He was terrific and put on a heck of a show. We had a great turn out thanks to all of you. Elvis will be coming back in March so make sure you look for the date and time and mark it on your Calendar.

We are having a Birthday Party on the 6th with Jerry LaBerge performing from 7 to 11. Come join us to sing Happy Birthday to all or Birthday members.

Don't forget Super Bowl Sunday 7 Feb. We will be serving boiled shrimp, raw oysters and baked hot wings plus much more for only $8.00. We also will have happy hour prices and give-a-ways.

On the 11th we will have Mardi Gras night, Karaoke style. Put on your purple, green and gold and come party with us.

On the 13th Valentines Party with Tomato and Daddy Man performing on stage from 7 to 11 so come dance the night away with your Sweetheart.

The 20th we will have the Battle of the DJs, salsa style. A night you don't want to miss - from 8 till??

All are invited to come out on Thursday, 25 February, to help mourn John Forte's "50th" Birthday Party. We will be in Black so how about you.

"Durango" is coming back Saturday, 27 February; another night to come out and Boogie! So get on your dancing shoes and leave them on for the entire month, ‘cause you are going to need ‘em. Thank you again for all your support. We need all of you to make this work.

GOOD OF THE ORDER

The District I meeting is coming to Post 706 on Saturday, 6 February 2010, starting at 1000. Plan on attending to show your support for our Post.

~ BINGO ~ THE BIG GAME!

Here are the rules: Hour to play the BIG GAME will be decided by a random drawing at the beginning of the night. Beginning blackout for the BIG GAME will be 50 numbers. Number will increase every week. If no one wins the BIG GAME, blackout continues with the prize set at a minimum of $25, but will not exceed 50% of the money collected. Normal blackouts will continue, but the hour for the $100 Blackout will be at the end of the 2^nd hour if the BIG GAME is played the last hour of the night. Sounds inviting doesn’t it. Somebody has to win the BIG GAME. Might as well be Y-O-U! Come on out Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for a night of fun and excitement.

SUPPORT YOUR POST
Come support our dances and entertainment and enjoy yourself at the Post. We could sure use your help and you could sure use some real fun and entertainment for a change!

Supporting the Post is not just attending a monthly meeting on occasion; it is contributing by volunteering when needed so we can spread the workload around and not let just a few do all the work. Check with me or any Post officer to see where you can be best utilized. We have several areas that need involvement from our membership. One day per member would result in working once every two or three years; NO I DIDN’T MAKE A MISTAKE. Lend a hand for one day every two or three years! Think about it. One day every two years to support veterans? Wow! That is what we do, so do your part, get involved.
