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!
For God and Country,
Bill Moore
Commander

AMERICAN LEGION RIDERS NEWS
Greetings Riders,
What a great month of Sept. we had. Titusville P.D. Poker Run, 9-11 Run, Our Bike Day, even saw some good
looking bikes at the S.A.L./Derelicts Car Show. October will be another good month for good times by the Riders.
Don’t forget we have our “FUN RUN” to St. Augustine coming up in November. Hotel information, ride route, and
stops will all be discussed at our next meeting. This is going to be a good time!!!
Great turn out last month for our Meat Shoot. Come out this month on October 18th and win a stack of meat for
your next BBQ.
The Riders stepped up to the plate and helped support many of our Legion Family events last month. Thank you
for all of your help and support! Stay tuned for information concerning our “Rider” party we will be having this
month.
Ride Safe, Ride Smart.
For God and Country,
Ken Shoemaker

GOLF NEWS
The Golf League has started play as of Sept. 5th. The first week we had 24 Players, all had a pleasant time. 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

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.

Membership Chairman

FROM BEHIND THE BAR:
Fall is here, well at least according to the calendar it is, which means our friends from up North will be returning
soon! Look for our Snowbird Appreciation evening in November!
We will be stirring up football rivalries on the weekends: 1/2 off your first single drink price for wearing your
college football jersey on Saturday or your pro football jersey on Sunday; Buckets of beer on Saturdays, Sundays
and Mondays--6 beers for $10 (unfortunately, at this time, Michelob products and Corona are not included);. We
will have popcorn popped and offering hot dogs after the kitchen closes.
Come on in, support your team and have fun at Post 1!!
Donna, Hazel, Karin, Marion, Michelle and Shari
