American Legion Post 642 (Stevens Creek) Cupertino, California

May

1st Vice Commander’s Note

Greetings Fellow Legionnaires,

Please invite fellow veterans, even if they aren’t American Legion members yet, to our Post meeting which is on May 5th at the Odd Fellows Lodge #70 Hall.  This month also brings us the Post 858 Chess Parlor every Monday, Vet to Vet Café at Post 419 on Thursdays, Mobile medical outreach for Veterans in Gilroy (16^th) and Memorial Day on the 26th.

We are still working on increasing membership and meeting current goals. The post has an application page for both new applications and renewals at https://www.americanlegionpost642.com/site/application.php or

your My Legion account here: https://mylegion.org/PersonifyEbusiness/Membership/Renew

I would highly recommend signing up for autopay of your memberships, especially since our new membership year starts in June.

We have taken care of elderly Post Members annual membership like our remaining WWII Veterans. This is to keep them in the loop with our newsletter, Buddy Checks, etc. I am continuing to reach out to Post 1000 members and Michael Fouts will be inducted into the Post this month. Remember that our Student Veterans are also subsidized, so please reach out to me or Arturo to renew this year and the coming year to maintain continuity of service.

We would really like to get more people attending the Post meetings and events and enjoy social aspects of membership, so let us know your ideas by coming to our meetings. Do give us heads up, so that we can requisition extra rations versus our regular contingent. The next person on the meals roster will have to get the cooler with drinks, etc.  If additional drinks are required, it will be reimbursed above the normal meal amount.  Remember, if you need a ride, contact either me or one of the officers. Arturo has the cooler.

Please remember that if you have Post or Veterans events that you would like on the calendar to get them to Arturo or the District. Please include pertinent information like event information, contacts, address, where to meet, etc. Events Calendar

If you know of deceased members during the past few months either bring their name and share with our District Chaplain, Sunny Dosanjh or send to him at dos@dosanjhusa.com. Unfortunately, we have confirmed with the family that Fenton Hill, one of our WWII Veterans has entered Post Everlasting.

To Comradeship!
