“THE PATRIOT”
JUN-JUL 2015
Fellow Legion, Ladies Auxiliary and Son of the American Legion Members,
I want to thank everyone who came out and helped at the AFR Bike Blessing
on May 3, 2015. Everything went very smooth and it was a beautiful day for
the Blessing. Our next big bike run will be the Cincinnati Breast Fest. We will
need lots of help that day- there will be two waves of bikes coming in and if it
is anything like last year we will be extremely busy. If you would like to help
please be at the Post about 10 AM. The first wave of bikes is expected around
12:30 PM.
Recently the Post mailed out our own renewal notice for the Legion members.
So far we have had about 1/3 of our Legion members respond. It would be
great to be 100% of our membership goal at the Legion State Convention at
the end of June. If you haven’t sent in your 2016 Legion dues please either
drop by the Post or mail a check for $30.00 to Yeager-Benson Post 199 PO 603
Harrison, Ohio 45030. If by chance you have paid your 2016 Legion dues and
would get a dues notice from National don’t pay it. It takes a few weeks after
we get the cards for all the paperwork to catch up! If ever you have a question
about your membership dues please call me @ 513-476-1969 or email me at
[email protected]. If you served during WWII the Legion will pay your dues
just let me know you were a WWII Veteran. It is our way to say thank you to the
all of you who saved our world!
If you haven’t been at one of our breakfasts please stop down the third Sunday
of each month. We serve breakfast from 8:00 AM to 12 Noon. The cost is
just $7.00 for adults and $4.00 for kids under 12. The menu is: eggs, bacon,
sausage, gravy, fruit, biscuits, potatoes, coffee, milk, juice and more.
Please help support our Post by attending.
Do you have someone or know of someone who has an upcoming wedding,
anniversary and special occasion coming up and need a hall to rent? We have
a beautiful hall and we have many rental packages to cover all your needs.
Just give me a call @ 513-476-1969 and I will go over all the details with you.
Remember Legion meetings are the 2nd Monday @ 7:00 PM. Light
refreshments are served after the meeting. I hope to see you soon!

Thanks - to everyone who helped at the AFR Bike Blessing-everyone did a wonderful
job working together!
Cincinnati Breast Fest - will be June 14, 2015- If you would like to help please come
down. We are expecting the 1st wave about 12:30 PM. We can start using help between 10 AM to set up and additional help around 11:30 AM. There will be two waves.
I think we will be all down and cleaned up by 5:00 PM.
VA - Effective 2015, VA Eliminated the use of net worth as a determining factor for
both health care program and co-payment responsibilities. This change makes VA
health care benefits more accessible for lower-income Veterans and brings VA policies in line with Secretary Bob McDonald’s initiative which reorients VA around Veteran’s needs. Veterans may submit updated income information at www.1010ez.med.
va.gov/ or by visiting the Cincinnati VA. Questions you can call toll free 1-877-2228387.
Newsletter -You can help the Post reduce costs by email instead of by mail. It is
quick and easy and could reduce the number of Newsletters the Posts has to mail out.
If you sign up you will get a notification by email when the most recent newsletter is
available on the web by going to http://post 199.org/subscribe. You will get access to
the newsletter faster than having it mailed to you and you help the Post save money.
Past and current newsletters are available online at http://post199.org/newsletter.
Questions please contact Jean @ 513-708-1969 or [email protected]. If you
don’t want to get this way we will still be mailing out hard copies to you. But if you like
this idea please sign up and help the Post reduces our costs.
