Important stuff happening this weekend:

1) S.A.L. children’s Christmas party will be held this Sunday from 3-5pm. Bring your kids, grandkids, or small waifs you find walking down the street. Santa will be there with games, prizes and cookies. Nothing says Christmas like getting the little tykes wired on cookies and sending them home to mom and dad.

2) The ALR 136 VA Christmas will be held prior to the SAL party. Any and everyone is invited to come up to the VA, listen to good music, visit with our vets and help pass out gifts. Will be leaving the post around noon, so if you wish to join in, come by for breakfast and do something nice for a vet.

3) Monday evening is our general Legion and Auxiliary meeting at 7pm. Will be voting on a new BOG position and the Auxiliary will be invited in to vote also. It is a post level position and all members can vote on this opening. As always, SAL is invited to attend our meeting.

4) If you cannot attend the meeting, or if you are inclined to spend Pearl Harbor Day with some WWII vets, I have attached a flyer for an event at Hanger 1. Our own WWII member and B-29 pilot Charles Chauncey will be one of the honored guests and speakers. The event is from 4-10pm.

Thanksgiving Post Note

The dining room will be closed for dinner this Friday, 11/27/09 so the staff can enjoy their holiday. We will be open Sunday 11/29 for breakfast at the usual hours.

If you were not here on Monday, we had over 125 members and their families here for our annual Post Thanksgiving dinner. Like any family, we love to see a full house. Thank you to everyone that made it a great success.

Karen and I wish all of you a peaceful and happy Thanksgiving day.

Giggles Update

Greetings from Sunny Colorado, My Friends !!!

I met with Dr. Nichols today and was told to "get on that bike and have some fun!" He has totally released me from all restrictions and follow-up care. The tests have shown that the surgery was TOTALLY successful !!!!! PRAISE THE LORD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At this time, he feels that there is no need for the every six-month MRIs for the next five years. WooHoo !

He also said that he was thinking of joining the Kansas ALR in Winter Park next year and asked that I let you all know that what we do is admired and appreciated by him, his staff and his family. He gave me a big hug and said to keep up the great work with the Kansas ALR and Patriot Guard. Is it any wonder I love this guy? HA!

I want to thank all of you for the many thoughts and prayers !!! You are truly the most AMAZING friends I have ever known.

Take Care of You,
Deb a/k/a Giggles

He's planning to bring her to dinner Friday, November 20th.

Tony Beavers Reception Post 136 Saturday

Saturday after the services for Tony Beavers, we have been requested to host a friends and family reception in memory of Tony, at the Post. The church services are at 1pm and it is estimated arrival at the post about 3pm.

We are asking, especially from the Auxiliary, your help on this short notice request. Please bring a dish (casseroles, sandwich plates, relish or vegetable plates, deserts etc.) to the post for those attending the reception. I realize this is short notice and many plan on attending the funeral services. Dishes can be dropped off early or even the night before and left in the walk in cooler if necessary.

LeAnn Beavers is an Auxiliary member of our Post and would be most appreciative if we can accommodate this request.

Thank you in advance, Rick
