SALS MESSAGE May/June '08 The American
Legion Convention is coming up the second week of June. Everyone is
urged to attend to see what the American Legion is all about. SAL's MESSAGE March/April 2008
SAL'S MESSAGE Jan/Feb 2008 I hope that everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday season. ..The Ladies Auxiliary did a stellar job with the kids annual Christmas Party with Beep-Beep the Clown and Santa! The evening adult party was a lot of fun as well. Be sure to stop by the Post over the winter months—there is always someone around to welcome new faces and we encourage members to stop in, get to know the other members. There have been many improvements made in the canteen, making it an even more popular place nowadays! In addition to our pool table and shuffleboard table, we now have 5 TV’s, ensuring a great time for all our sports enthusiasts! And of course our warm and cozy fireplace which is a favorite spot during the winter months! What better way to spend a relaxing Sunday ! Be sure to check out the list of our Pull Tab Donations in 2007 in this issue of the Scoop. We've managed to help out a lot of charities throughout the year. Thanks to all that contributed. Let's try to do the same this coming year! Speaking of which, a huge thank you goes out to all of you that donated things for our annual Thanksgiving drive and Toys for Tots. During the holiday season, its another reminder of the sacrifices the troops make for all of us. May God Bless them and may they all come home safe and soon. If you haven't paid your membership dues, please do so ASAP. The Post is sponsoring a trip to Gettysburg January 19th which is free to all members! For details and to sign up, call the Post at 665-3889. I’m
looking forward to seeing everyone for out annual St. Patrick's Day Party!
Stay tuned for details about the party in the next Scoop and on our
website at www.alch372.com. SAL'S MESSAGE Nov/Dec 2007 Our annual Family Day, which was held on September 22nd, was a smashing success on a gloriously beautiful day ! Best ever for sure - Great fun, food, and people ! The same can be said about our Halloween Party which was held on Oct 27th. Special thanks to all the volunteers that helped out to make both of these events a great time for everyone who attended. We couldn’t have done it without you! Early bird dues are due! If you haven’t paid your SAL Membership dues, please step up to the plate and do so as soon as possible! The tremendous turnout we had last year with the wood chopping extravaganza has left us with enough firewood to warm the Post again this year, ensuring a cozy atmosphere for all members. However, if you have some cut wood you would like to donate, we would surely take it! Be sure to stop by the Post this winter, get your hands & feet warmed up and watch some of the sporting events with us on one of our 4 TV’s – or stop by for a game of pool or shuffleboard! A huge thanks goes to all that contribute to our Pull Tab Machine as it enables our Post to make many donations to very important charities throughout the year. Last year we made over $31,000 in donations. The donations were made to places such as the American Lung Association, American Cancer Society, Vet Haven, Deborah Hospital Foundation, Special Olympics, Ronald McDonald House, St. Jude Children’s Hospital, Susan Koman Fund, Toys for Tots, CHHS West ROTC Fund, CHHS West PTA, Boys State, Project Chili Troops, Twp Memorial Day, CCHS Project Graduation, CH Babe Ruth Team, CH PBA, and Erlton Fire Relief Fund to name a few! Stay tuned for a listing of all the donations made this year in the next issue of the Scoop! Speaking of donations, tis the time of year again for the Thanksgiving Food Collection - please remember to drop off your donations of canned and boxed foods and goodies at the Post lounge as soon as possible. Every year the Post also participates in the worthwhile Marine Corps “Toys for Tots” program. Please drop off of new unwrapped toys in the collection box at the Post this holiday.

Event Every Year—all are welcome! Bring the kids—Games and our famous
Clown is sure to please!
SALS MESSAGE June/July 2007 Summer is coming
fast and so is the Annual SALS MESSAGE March / April 2007 I am looking
forward to seeing everyone at our annual St. Patrick’s Day Party on March
17th 7pm—Midnight. SAL'S MESSAGE Commander Memorial December 2006 When I first met Mr. Goldy 13 years ago I thought he was a nice guy—but little did I know he would be a great influence in my life and a great friend. He has shown wonderful support to the Sons of the American Legion activities and has made all of us better people by his friendship. Tom, Bob and Darlene always had a good time at the Post home. Bob always had a smile on his face because of his two friends, Tom and Darlene, who took the time to make his life better. Post 372 will never have a better man in charge. We will always miss the Goldy’s.
SAL'S MESSAGE November/December 2006 Everyone agrees that this year’s Family Day gathering was the best on record so far…Good fun, good food, food weather and great people attending the annual affair which is one of the SAL highlights of the year. The tremendous turnout for the wood chopping extravaganza was also encouraging, getting bigger ad better every year. We now have enough fireplace wood to hopefully take us in the 2010. The SALs want all the members to remember other SAL members who are currently fighting illness, suffering injuries or convalescing and keep them in your hand prayers. Also a salute to the Regular Members and Executive Board of Post #372 who granted a $1,000 contribution to the County Commander for his Special Olympic Fall Fund Drive. Finally a note of thanks to some Junior SAL members who helped us during the wood cutting day festivities; Richie Doerer; David D”Orazio and Sean Brining…Didn’t we have fun???
SAL'S MESSAGE September/October 2006
Early Bird Dues are
beginning to come in and we’re hoping to reach the 200 plus membership
distinction for this year.
