I would like to remind our members that we have a Membership meeting the first Monday of each month @ 6pm if it is not a holiday. I would like to see as many members as possible at these meetings, this is YOUR POST you have a say in how it is run, make your voice/vote count.
There are many 2024 & 2025 cards that are in a box that only the bartenders have access to.
The bartenders are supposed to ask if you want to pick it up at the bar or mail it. If you indicate that you want it mailed to you, and the POST OFFICE says it is non deliverable it will be put in the box at the bar. So, the bottom line is if you have paid for your new card check with bartender on duty. All of you that have paid for your 2025 membership card online please be patient, National sends a sheet out letting me know who pays "Online" but they wait until they have more than 6 before they send us the sheet, we (The Post) do not send out the notices. Remember on January the 1st you must have a 2026 card, or you will not be served.
