Poppy promotion drive
Thank you to all who went out on the Poppy Promotion drive on August 10th and 11th.
Considering the heat temperature was very high, all did well. Also, thank you to the Post and Auxiliary members who helped count the receipts on the 12th.
James Bausch and Dorothy Botsford were the high promoters. Ken Olson put in the most hours, and a special thank you to Megan Becker, Don's daughter for helping with the Poppy promotion. Also the corsages made by the Auxiliary brought in a nice amount. If you would like to donate for a Poppy cardto be placed at the club, contact any bartender or Officer. A full monetary report will be given in a future newsletter.
