Our annual Summer BBQ was a huge success! We had great weather, delicious food, and fantastic company. It was a perfect opportunity for members and their families to relax, socialize, and enjoy the summer vibes.
We fired up the grill and served up burgers, hot dogs, and all the classic BBQ sides. There were games for the kids, music for everyone to enjoy, and plenty of laughter throughout the day. Events like these are crucial for building camaraderie and strengthening the bonds within our post.
A big shoutout to all the volunteers who helped set up, cook, and clean up – we couldn't have done it without you! Your hard work and dedication made the BBQ a memorable event for everyone. We look forward to hosting more fun events like this in the future.

We had guest speakers from various organizations who shared valuable insights and answered questions from attendees. It's important for us to ensure that our veterans have access to the resources they need to thrive, and this workshop was a step in that direction.
The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive, with many veterans expressing their gratitude for the information and support provided. We plan to host more workshops like this in the future, so stay tuned for updates!
