President's
Message: Fellow Legion, Auxiliary, and S.A.L. Members.
Due to the destruction of Post 119's building in Gulfport, we
are sharing the building of the Gulfport Elk's Lodge. It is located
at 12010 Klein Road off of Three Rivers Road in Gulfport. See our Contact
Page for more information. The Lounge may be used by any
Legion, Auxiliary, S.A.L., or Elk Member and their guests. The
Bartenders may ask to see your Membership Card until they know
who the Members are. The Lounge will be closed during our General
Membership Meetings, which will be held on the 2nd Monday of
each month at 7pm. The Lounge will reopen following our meeting.
Also, the Lounge will be closed during the Elks Lodge meetings,
which are held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month at 7pm.
The Lounge will reopen following the Elk's meetings. |

As your Auxiliary President,
I would like to thank the Ladies of our Unit for their hard work
and support during this past year, and to thank you for re-electing
me as your President for the coming year.
Please come to our July General
Membership Meeting and welcome our new slate of officers. Mary
Reid: President, Betty Lou Reyer: 1st Vice President, Paula Wright:
Treasurer, Carry Rau: Chaplain, Jane Lindsey: Historian, and
Tracie Burnette, Sgt. At Arms. The Executive Board is: Betty
Tolar, Annie Powell, Gratia Dresback, Leigh Adamson, Wilda Switzer,
and Shelby Byrd. Nancy Oliver has been appointed as Secretary.
We will also have an Awards Night the
same evening as our installation of 2008-2009 Officers. Following
the ceremonies, our unit will have a $5 per person "Juke
Box Saturday Night Spaghetti Special".
Our sympathy goes our to Helen
Nilges for the loss of her husband Chuck. We will all miss him,
and we need to give Helen all of the support that we can over
the next several months.
It's good to see that Betty Tolar
is up and recovering well after her lung surgery. Send her get
well cards, and call occasionally to see how well she is recovering.
The State Convention will take
place this month, July 10th through the 13th. We would like to
have a good showing if you can attend.
New Membership Cards are out for
2008-2009. Let's get started early this year and exceed our Membership
Goal for next year!!!
Keep our Troops in your prayers,
and Unit Members with health problems are too numerous to mention
each individually, but your prayers and support are always needed.
"Proud
To Be An American"
"For
God and Country"
Mary Smith-Reid, President |
