*Money for Nothing*
At the Post 146 meeting on October 18 during Good of the Legion, Mike Knudson mentioned that he had found
several hundred dollars for himself and members of his family which California was holding in their
unclaimed property database at https://ucpi.sco.ca.gov/UCP/Default.aspx. I searched that database on
Wednesday and was surprised to find 7 unclaimed properties for my wife, son, daughter-in-law, and son-in-law for
a grand total of $450.29. Unfortunately my name did not come up. However, I did achieve hero of
the month status - thanks Mike! I suggest each member search the similar database that exists for each state that
you lived in. Good hunting!

back with $704 cash for the general fund. So you can see we are making it work & your help is needed to continue
this Great hidden source of income. Please continue to support when you can & let’s work together to make 2015
our biggest year yet. Bring your bottles and cans to the new building at 1617 Mission Ave. & be sure to let them
know they are for the Post 146 recycle program. Call me or the Commander if you have things for us to pick up.
Remember the Adjutant is recycling printer ink, & cell phones. Please bring all you have to the next meeting.

The American Legion Riders are members of the American Legion who are also motorcycle enthusiasts. They can
be found participating in parades, motorcycling events, and supporting the communities in which they live, work,
and play. They also provide help, aid, and comfort to any current or former service member and their families.
Members of the ALR come from the Legion, the Legion Auxiliary, and the Sons of the American Legion. The
American Legion Riders are not a motorcycle club (M/C), and does not practice M/C rules or regulations. We
claim no territory nor do we support or oppose any M/C. The American Legion Riders are family-oriented, just as
is its parent organization: the American Legion. Our Mission: Veterans helping Veterans.

Law and Order:
Like all the programs in the American Legion or any other worthwhile organization, teamwork and member
support are essential ingredients for success.
Over the years I have seen Post 146 pull itself up by the boot straps, but it only happened because the
"membership" wanted it to become successful.
Our Post Law and Order Program is 2nd to none. I have seen and been involved in several programs around the
state, and Oceanside Post 146 is right up there. But to grow, or even maintain the high standards that you
demand, it takes you, the Legionnaires, Auxiliary, and AL Riders support. To make that happen. If you take a
look at the Emblem Sales catalog you will see the cost of medals, certificates etc., then consider the other costs
of the program. The price of a dinner does not cover the cost of the program. In addition to purchasing a
dinner, it takes your additional generosity through regular donations. Your contribution does not have to be a
large amount, $5, $10, $20 or more helps the effort. If you donate, beyond the cost of your meal, your name
will be published in this newsletter as well as listed as a Booster on the evening’s program. Our Chairman,
Kevin Johnstone, continues to contribute a huge amount of time and effort to make your Law and Order
program a success. You can be a big help with your donations. There is a Law and Order flyer in this
newsletter with some particulars on donating. Your support is appreciated, the program cannot grow without
your support, membership makes the program.

Head Shed, President Chuck Atkinson- What
a year it’s been and what a year it’s going to be.
We are in the final stages of completing the
kitchen, the last part of your Veterans Resource
Center. We are now moving from capital
funding to the funding of VANC programs,
things that really help our veteran community,
especially those members of our Armed Forces
needing to transition to civilian life. We are
working with a number of organizations
including Mira Costa College to develop and
roll out training programs for vets. We are also
setting up a Pro-Vet roster to recognize
businesses that support veteran programs and
hire our service members as they transition. Our
matching funding with the City of Oceanside is
nearly complete, all $600,000! We are
anticipating the kitchen completion, cooking test
and final inspection in January, and our 1st real
test with the Vietnam Vets Assn. spaghetti
dinner at 5pm on Jan 31st
Veteran Services, Sandra Fichter- The
CTAP program for this new year is already
underway, and classes are full to the point that
we are considering adding a 2nd roster of classes
for Tue & Thur. Placements are still over 85%
for our CTAP students and 95% find solid jobs
within the first month.
VANC Marketing, Director Leon Miller says
we added $2,000 from a friend and his hot rod
club, and the appeal is getting out to more and
more businesses and organizations each day. He
suggests we have a significant donor wall within
the building to recognize those who have made
the $ difference.
Interfaith Services for Veterans, Director
John Stryker Meyers- Interfaith is a coalition
of resources providing direct help to our vets in
the form of jobs, health & wellness, financial
assistance and housing. About 40 different
organizations met here this month and shared
their direction in meeting veteran needs. They
meet monthly at VANC on the 1st Monday at
noon.
VANC Scholarship, Joe Ashby- The
Craftsmanship Museum of Carlsbad has
already helped us raise nearly $700 toward our
2015 VANC Scholarship fund. We owe a big
debt of gratitude to director Craig Libuse and
his staff for displaying the Rolls a Rollin’ model
and promoting VANC. There is still time for
you and your organization to sell the $1 raffle
tickets. The drawing will be Jan 31st. Tickets are
available at VANC, or at the Craftsmanship
Museum at 3190 Lionshead Ave. in Carlsbad.
VANC. Our inaugural Garden Swing will be
Feb 5th. Get your tickets soon as there is limited
space and we will be selling out. $10 in
advance, $12 at the door. Call VANC.
Veteran Honor Garden Swings with
Stefani Stevens
VANC Honor Garden, Joe Ashby- We are in
the final design stages of the VANC Honor
Garden. The committee has worked hard, but
the VANC Board wants the project design
completed so we can set to work in getting the
architectural plans and finding the funds to
complete this important part of our VANC
Resource Center. A complete vision of the
Honor Garden will be presented in the near
future. In the meantime, we need help from you
or your organization to put in a few hours a
month to mow, weed and care for our patch of
land here at VANC. No special skill are
necessary. Contact Joe Ashby at 760-630-0740.
We also need you to help us promote the VANC
Honor Bricks. They are an easy sell at $100
each, and provide a lasting legacy of whoever or
whatever you designate. Just go to
www.vancnorthcounty.org and buy a brick
today!
VANC Garden Swings- VANC is in the
entertainment business with Garden Swings
6:30-9:30 the 1st Thursday of each month at
Growing up in Long Island, N.Y, Stefani's biggest influences
were the sounds of the early Jazz, Blues and Rock & Roll
eras. Stefani trained with various Opera and Jazz artists such
as Jazz Vocalists Kevyn Lettau and Martin Grusin The
aspiring artist performed in California, Texas, and Hawaii.
She settled in Hawaii and created a band named Swingshift
who performed at various venues the styles of Rock, Pop,
Jazz & Blues.
Spagetti Dinner, yum yum- Vietnam Veterans
Assn. Chapter 1031 has seized the opportunity
to be the 1st group to test out our new kitchen. A
spagetti feed with salad, garic bread & dessert is
yours for only $5 adults and $2.50 children
under 10. Better yet, it is FREE if you are a
