L COMMANDER BRAD PARSONS AUXILIARY PRESIDENT CATHIE McMULLIN COMMANDERS REPORT WHEW!! September was a great month, and we may not be able to catch our breath in October--looks like another busy month! You will see several changes/events are on tap for this month: Children and Adult Halloween Parties; Bartender Appreciation night where the Executive Board will be behind the bar serving (and probably being harassed by the bartenders!); BINGO will now be starting at 12:30 PM on Tuesdays; and Rudy is adding menu items. Please come out and support our Legion Family! Thanks to all of our members (YOU!) that stepped up and provided support to the Annual Stand Down for homeless veterans on September 20th. It was very successful and grows every year. Was great to see that Post 1 participation also grows every year—thanks for taking the time to help our homeless heroes. If you have not renewed membership, please do so ASAP. By Oct 15 th to get in on the Early Bird Dinner and by end of year to stay an active Post 1 member. Thanks for your support of our Post and look forward to seeing you at the Post for ANOTHER busy month!

With all the rain we have been having we had to miss one week due to standing water on the golf course. Hopefully conditions will improve and we resume play on Oct. 3rd. We golf at Willow Lakes Golf & RV resort in Mims starting at 9:00 am on Fridays and have around 25-30 Golfers every week, just show up and if needed we will place you with someone or group to play with. We play 18 holes on a 9 hole (fun) course and cost is $15.00 for 18 holes and a $3.00 fee for the prize fund. See you on the course Ray Parker (513) 484-6267 League Secretary AUXILIARY NEWS—PRESIDENTS MESSAGE Our fundraising for the Service Dog for a PTSD or TBI Veteran is gaining speed. We have already reached the first goal of $500 and after all the tallies are in after a very busy weekend at the Post and the generosity of S.A.L. and the Legion Riders, I believe we have already reached $1,000. Thank you S.A.L., Legion Riders and others for your contributions. You make us all proud to be part of this organization. The Raffle for the stuffed dog with $100 Lottery Scratch-offs attached was won by one of the Thursday evening dancers, Mary Arnold. Congrats Mary and we hope you win BIG. The Thursday Dance is open to all and is a very nice smoke-free social evening. The side door will be open for your convenience. For a $6.00 cover charge, you can’t beat the great music provided by Bobby & Susie and the friendly people. Dancing begins at 7 p.m. Our Children & Youth Chairman, Mary Jo, is working hard planning a very special children’s Halloween party to be held October 25 from 1-3 p.m. We have lots of costumes in many sizes so if you need one, let us know. There will be Arts & Crafts, games, snacks and CANDY! Look for the sign-up sheet at the bar to list your children, grandchildren or underprivileged children you know of. We have started the food drive for Christmas Baskets for needy families. The schools recommend 3 families each that need assistance. Gifts for children and enough food for Christmas Day is provided. Please put all donations of canned and other non-perishables in the barrel in the Social Quarters. We now have a Facebook page, ALA Titusville Unit 1. Check it out, share any pictures you may have taken during events at the Post and your comments are always welcome. God Bless our Veterans, Country and Community, Cathie McMullin President Auxilary Membership A BIG thank you to all the members who have renewed your membership for 2015. And those who haven't need to get them in ASAP. Remember that Department of Florida considers anyone who hasn't renewed by December 31 to be "Not in Good Standing". Also, the Early Bird stamp will be used for all renewals received before October 15 and that entitles you to a special free dinner. We delivered boxes of school supplies to Pinewood, Mims, and Oak Park Elementary Schools to help under privileged children. We still will accept school supplies and get them to the schools. Not as many donations came in this year, and we will be assisting schools with special needs throughout the year. Donna Shearer Membership Chairman TUESDAY BINGO NOW AT 12:30 PM. HAVE LUNCH AND PLAY!
