Update for the Past Month

As we come to the end of our 2011-2012 year, we at Unit 146 continue to keep busy with many projects. Through these we are actively helping our veterans, from those returning from Afghanistan to the retired veterans in the community. We have received the clearance to have our own night to serve dinner at the Wounded Warrior Battalion on Camp Pendleton. Our goal is to work alongside the Post and Riders to make the one night a month dinner a success. May 14th is Poppy Week, please see the attached flyer. We will be receiving the Proclamation from Mayor Woods on May 16th at 5PM at 300 North Coast Highway in the Council Library at City Hall. All members are encouraged to come and support our unit. We will also be at the Sunset Market on Thursday May 17th from about 5:00PM to 8:30PM. The owner of the H & M store on the corner of Coast Highway and Pier View Way is kind enough to allow us to set up a table in front of the store. Please contact Mary Thorsten at 73andsunny@gmail.com if you can help out. She is accepting sign-ups for shifts. We can spell each other and have a very successful Poppy Week. We held our elections for the coming year at the April 21st meeting. Please join me in welcoming the American Legion Oceanside Unit 146 2012/2013 Officers: President: Cyndy Simons, 1st Vice: Mary Thorsten, 2nd Vice: Kim Crone, Secretary: Suzanne Brewster, Treasurer: Tammy Nielsen, Chaplain: Mary Williams, Historian: Melinda Pruzinski, Sgt-at Arms: Sandie Pines. The installation of officers will be with Post and Chapter 146 Riders on Wednesday, June 13 at 5pm at the El Camino Country Club in Oceanside. For information and reservations please contact the Oceanside Post 146 or George and Cyndy Simons at 760-439-9777, or use this flyer. We hope to see you at the May 19th meeting to discuss the Independence Day Parade in July. Ladies, it has been a wonderful and rewarding experience to work alongside the members of Unit 146. We are a small but mighty unit that has accomplished so much. Through constant communication and relentless dedication we have been able to make a difference in the community, both military and civilian. The support of the Post and Riders continues to be an invaluable asset. I want to thank you all for the support and friendship you have given me. I look forward to continuing my service to the American Legion Auxiliary and our veterans. Kim Crone
