     FROM THE COMMANDER

And we’re off!!! To an ambitious start for 2025 that is. First of all, let me thank everyone who has stepped up to support the Post. Your help is in measurable in helping us get where we need to be so that we can support the families of our veterans and other services devoted to that end. Coming up is another opportunity for you to help out as well.

 

With regard to the Draft and the Packers, the Honor Guard is in “HOT STANDBY” and when they communicate something with us we’ll let you know ASAP!

 

For this year, we’re going to hold 3 brat barns at Festival foods. We’ll have the dates after the 18th of this month. We are looking to do several Meat Raffles, the first of which will occur on April 19th at Simonet’s Bar in downtown Green Bay. The second raffle will be held at Tic’s bar in Suamico in the June-July time frame and the third raffle will occur in the fall at Pearly gates. In addition, we’ve got our annual Booyah Events which will start April 4th and 5th, and then again on September 4th and 5th . And don’t forget the monthly Breakfasts or lunches!

 

Now of course there will be some down time and hopefully we’ll have an opportunity to let off some steam and have a party for us (or two) along the way. So, I hope to see as many of you supporting these events as possible. Bill Kaczmarek 

 
 
    FROM THE AUXILIARY PRESIDENT 
Happy New Year!! Thanks to all Post 11 members who attended the UPS awards banquet. Congratulations to our very own Gail Nohr the 2024 Volunteer of the Year recipient.
 
We have a couple of big fundraising events around the corner. The next Meat Raffle is April 19th at Simonets. I am again requesting Baskets for the Raffle. They went over big at the last one. Ask your friends and family to help out.
 
Poppy Time is right around the corner. As always we will be distributing our Poppy's on the Friday and Saturday of Mothers Day weekend May 9th and May 10th. A signup schedule will be posted at our April meeting. Our mailing to Post membership will be on March 25th at 6 PM. Mary Krutz has gracefully volunteered to prepare the letters for mailing. Thank You Mary!!! We will need help stuffing the envelopes. Snacks will be provided and the bar will be open. 
 
Badger Girls: We have secured the funds to send 6 girls to attend the ALABGS in Oshkosh. Thanks to the generosity of the GB Packers and our Post.
 
We will be donating school supplies to two Elementary Schools, Howe and Fort Howard. This time of year supplies are running low and the schools very much welcome and appreciate the supplies.
 
We continue to partner with Nicolet Elementary Family Food Pantry. Please look in your panty's at home or buy a few extra items while grocery shopping. The bin for collection is near the front entrance at the Post. Mary Van Egeren
