Post 180 The Hudson American Legion

      What a year! 2009 will go clown as one of the great challenges of our Post. THANKS to so many Members   (Legion, Sons, Auxiliary) and Friends, we made great progress.

      So many of you have stepped up. Fish Fries, Special Dinners, Meetings, Maintenance Work, Volunteer Bartenders, Scrap Collection (Plunder Platoon), Wood Cutting are just some of the activities of the past year. We have projects - we continue to need your help! Meetings are the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month, 8:00 pm. Mike keeps it short "moving right along" and to the point.

 

Firing Squad News

      (Dave Warren sitting in for the AWOL Bob) The Firing Squad/Honor Curd had a total of 15 funerals in 2009, 3 of which were Members of our Post 180.

      TAPS 10/17 George Reynolds, Hillside in Addison, 11/19 Frederick Fowler, Maple Grove in Hudson, 11/25 Mike Dickey, Leonardson in Pittsford, 12/ I Charles Goodrow, Maple Grove in Hudson.

 

We provided wreath laying services for "Wreaths Across America" at Maple Grove and Calvary cemeteries to honor our fallen veteran comrades from all wars. We split our Guard into two groups and, along with Van VandeZande and Dave Warren, presented prayers at each Hudson cemetery. Thanks to Bob VanHemert and Kara Meister for rendering TAPS.

 

Special THANKS to all Squad Members for a job well done this past year and a warm welcome to new Members Ron Fox and Doug Galbreath.

      THANKS to all of you participating in our Nov 17 Money Auction! A Great Success! We are still getting accolades for the food, service and program. John Nowakowski was at his best. Frank Dunne, Brad V and Steve Wright, among others, were a great help. Special tribute to Jeremy Fetters and his "fixins", superb. We are going to be helping the Legion on their Auction on January 30, so try to join us for another great evening at the Legion.

Still need your help at meetings, guest bartending and other volunteering opportunities.
