GREETINGS TO EVERYONE AT BEDFORD AMERICAN LEGION POST 113

Fellow Legion Members,

It’s time to start a new year on the legion calendar, and I am honored to be your incoming Commander. I thank our outgoing Commander, Mr. Brad Imler, for his time and commitment over the past year.

I want to remind all post members that the Post meeting is on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 pm. It would be nice to see more members come out and share their ideas and get involved in the post’s activities.

I am looking forward to working with all members and the Board of Directors to keep our post strong and solvent, so we can be of service to our Veterans and the community.

Our chicken BBQs are coming up. I am inviting you to come out and help and enjoy the camaraderie with your fellow members. The dates are August 28, and October 2.

With Fall fast approaching, I hope all of you had a fun, safe, and enjoyable summer with family and friends.

In closing, I pray our God will look over our post and all its members, give our officers guidance in the decisions they make, and bless this great country, the United States of America.

Bill Wertz, Post 113 Commander

SONS OF THE AMERICAN LEGION

SQUADRON 113

I am honored to be your new Squadron Commander for the Sons of the American Legion Post 113. I am looking forward to working with the leadership of the American Legion Post 113 to ensure the well-being and improvement of the club itself and our Squadron. As we come into the holiday season, we have a lot of events coming up so please come in and show your support for the community.

I would like to encourage all Squadron members to attend our monthly meeting, which takes place on the first Tuesday of every month at 7 pm. Members’ attendance and participation in the meetings ensure a healthy squadron that makes sound decisions and can fulfill all its duties.

Jerod Burkett,
SAL Commander

American Legion Auxiliary Unit 113

As we say goodbye to past officers and welcome the new ones, I want to say thank you all for a great job this past year. We will have an installation of our new officers on September 7th and all members are welcome to attend the dinner/meeting. We made 100% in membership and want to thank Joy Dodson for all the work she does.

August 28th is the first chicken barbeque and as always, we need cakes, it takes 20 cakes each time, so donate a cake to help support our veterans.

Please sign up for your newsletter to come by email and help save on the cost of postage. Just send an email to legion113@embarqmail.com and in the subject line put “newsletter”.

Meetings are on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 pm in the main dining room, come and support your unit.

Please feel free to call me at 814-977-0057 if you have any questions.

If you are interested in joining, stop at the bar and complete an application, or call me and I will mail you one. The cost is $30 for the year, but be sure to attach the DD-214 from a service member you are related to that fit the category on the application.

Remember all that are deployed and wear red on Friday till they all come home. Remember to thank a Veteran for their service, without them, we would not have the land of the free and home of the brave.
