COMMANDERS MESSAGE May/June 2008

We are at that time of the year where Post 372 has been, and will be, involved in many activities.
On March 22, the Post had its annual Easter Egg Hunt for members’ children. We had a very good turnout which included the egg hunt, food and entertainment. A good time was enjoyed by all.
On April 12th, Sr. Vice Commander Ernest Brosh, Chaplain Chester Malik, Sal Officer Thomas Wright and myself were guests at the Philippino Bataan Death March ceremony. I was honored to be selected to present a wreath and to be a guest speaker. On the same day members of the Post assisted the Cherry Hill Fire Department with the planting of new cherry trees on Chapel Avenue. This was followed on the next day with the placement of American Flags along the whole length of Chapel Avenue.
On May 18th, the Post will be placing over 2000 flags on the graves of veterans at Locustwood Cemetery. On May 26th we will participate in Memorial Day services at the Township Municipal Building.
On June 1st representatives from American Legion Posts throughout the state will attend the annual Veterans Memorial Service at Locustwood Cemetery.
In closing, please say a prayer for our veterans who have gone to the Last Command, as well as our troops that are defending our great country.

For God and country,
Commander
Charles Macukewicz

COMMANDERS MESSAGE Jan/Feb 2008

 I hope that everyone had a great holiday season and that Santa was generous to you and your family.
2007 was again a very successful year for Post 372. We went “over the top” again with our total membership and, as usual, the Sal’s and the Women’s Auxiliary continued its great support of the Post. The Auxiliary continue its support of our troops in Iraq as well as our veterans facilities throughout New Jersey. The Sal’s had another extremely successful “Family Day” function as well as a Halloween and Xmas party.
The Post also totally refurbished the kitchen which now includes a new stove, stainless steel sinks, food prep counter and a new tile floor. The banquet hall also has had major modifications that will hopefully lower the noise levels during Post functions and rentals./
The Post has also added two flat screen TV’s which gives us a total of three flat screens.
One other item that we should be extremely proud of is our total charitable donations of $33606.70 for 2007.
The last item that I will mention, and the most important is our support of the troops that are currently fighting for our country. Please take the time to say a Prayer for all of these gallant men and women who did not have the opportunity to spend the holidays with their loved ones. Also, let us not forget the veterans who fought for us in the past and always be proud of the fact “that you served your country”.
May 2008 be a year of prosperity, good health and success for us all.

For God and Country,
Charles Macukewicz
Commander
