DarkHorse spoke about Xmas V.A. Banana Run this coming Sunday Dec.!6th. We will be meeting at our Post, have breakfast and start filling goody bags at 10:30. Please bring sugar-free cookies, sugar-free candy. Bull Thompson will be Santa, Charlie Lies who plays bagpipes will be there and DarkHorse has lined up a singing group to perform for all the Vets. This V.A. Run has a lot more great items in our goody bags for everyone to pass out so Please join us in bringing cheer to all of the Vets that can’t be home for Christmas. These guys especially like to see all of our ladies pass out bags to them, you can see that extra sparkle in the Vets eyes when a good-looking ALR gal comes into their room, I guess they get tired of seeing us Hairy-Legged guys!
PG Bricks are still on order. Terry is doing his best to get these in asap. Greg Bauer said he would call brick company and look into it also.
