Greetings from Executive Boardas of 10/21/21
Into the future, this posting will be the place for members to catch-up on current news:
Ken Karpy , E-board commitee member has news about BURN PITS:
Please note the first story about the VA moving forward on claims filed by Vets who have been
exposed to the deadly toxins near the burn pits. Legislation has been proposed but has languished since April.
Our Commander has written a letter to the Lorain County newspapers about this travesty to our vets
as none of our local politicians have co-sponsored this. Their phone numbers have been identified
hoping people will call them seeking their support.
Despite this lack of movement by the politicians it is encouraging to see the VA moving forward.
Please watch for the letter and call your reps. These 3800 claims are a great start
but almost 3 million troops were exposed to those 250 deadly burn pits. Thanks Ken.
Thanks to all the games of chance players, you're keeping the post's head above water.
Next thing, the Queen of Hearts will move to Friday's at 7:00pm; tickets on sell.
We realize that the canteen gets very crowded with people wait for the drawing but, remember
that the way the Queen of Hearts helps the post is from drink sales and game machine play in the canteen.
If you don't plan on buying drinks in the canteen, use the banquet hall to wait out the drawing results.
As always, the E-board seeks the posts' recovery from this period of uncertainty, restriction and closure, and
to return it to a vibrant and reliable meeting place for our Veteran community. Your volunteer efforts can help - please ask.
