The Handicap Chapter is having a yard sale at the VFW Post 3142,  3 March from 8:00                         am until ?  Start your spring cleaning early. Donate all those things just gathering dust.  If you need someone to pick up anything that you're unable to bring to the post call me I will pick it up.  I would also like to thank Barbara Avant for all her help with the Handicap dinners.

Remember ladies the second Sunday of the month is our Sunday.  The money raised goes to our Auxiliary!

The fair booth party will be 29 Feb for all of you who donated their time at the fair.

For those of you who don't know Ken Water is our new lead singer on Saturday night. Come out and hear him.
