For all that have noticed our post smoke eaters/air purifiers are working well and we hope to have them permanently mounted this month. Also our canteen and Veterans Room has some new pictures of days of old to remember. Hope you all enjoy them. Our Post VOD picnic and Sock Hop for HOPE went really well last month and I would like to thank all who put it together from cooking, decorating, and cleaning up, awesome job comrades and sisters. Reminder that our new post officers' installation is May 10th at 1800 with social hour, some food, the install, and some music and fun to follow. Loyalty Day is fast upon us, May 3rd at 1300. Come out to help our Post support our Fire and Police departments. We'll have hot dogs and burgers for all to enjoy. Our volunteer for this month goes to a comrade who again is behind the scenes doing a great job for our post as editor of the post newsletter. A hand shake and hello goes to Mike Petrovick. Thanks Mike for continuing the job over the years. I would like to recognize Comrade J.D. Mellert and Phil Gardner for receiving from National the veterans pin of Forever Serving award for recruiting and reinstating members for our post. Well done comrades. Bowling on Saturday afternoons at the post has been going great as the bowlers say they have just completed 13 weeks of frolic and are looking forward to their picnic and other interested players to join. The high player was Mike JR with 256. If you all want TO KNOW THE LOWEST, ask Wendy. But they all have fun.
In Comradeship,

Hello again sisters: Wow, another month has passed and we are getting closer to end of our term. Congratulations to the following newly elected officers:
President Elect, Anna Martin
The hospital visit was a very big, big disappointment. Once again it consisted of myself, my husband Danny and the Commander "Goose". Ladies, it is very important to continue to let our Veterans know just how important they are and to bring them a little joy for the short period of time. Please let's try to take just a couple of hours and make our next hospital visit the best one of all. The visit will be on the 8th. We are here for all of our Veterans!! Congratulations to Robin Scott and all who helped with decorating, food, cleanup, etc. at the Sock Hop For Hope. The Auxiliary managed to raise $1204 to donate to Cancer Aid and Research due to the hard work of the Chairman Robin Scott, thank you so much. As always thank you to all who participated and helped with this very important function. Everyone had a great time and the entertainment was fabulous. The proceeds made from the Voice of Democracy Picnic totaled $777. Thanks to all who participated and showed up for the festivities. I want to personally thank all of the Sisters and Comrades for making our Voice of Democracy Picnic a big success. At last count, I counted 70 people eating lunch and 4 just donated to our cause. It is a shame that more didn't participate, but those of us who did had a wonderful time as always. This is so important to be able to keep the money coming for the Scholarships for our future. Everyone bragged on the food and there was plenty. The cake walk went well and as always, FUN was the word for the day. A special thank you to: Willie Campbell, Jackie Martin and Don Staples for cooking the Boston Butt for our festivities. A very big thank you to the Ladies Auxiliary for such a fantastic meal, and once again you all came through. Some important dates to remember are as follows:
Welcome to our newest member Helen Reumenapp (Shorty's mom) who became a life member. For any sister interested, the next 8 members who either change over to life member or just join as life member will receive a VFW/AUX/MOC/MOCA cook book with some yum, yum recipes, so keep that in mind and change over. In closing, I would like to thank all of our Volunteers, both young and not so young for all your time and effort in keeping our Steak Nights, Wing Nights, Spaghetti Nights and any other function we may have going on. We need each and every Volunteer and we always appreciate you. We may not say "Thank You" enough, but believe me, you are always so much appreciated in every thing you do. See you at the next meeting.
Yours in friendship and sisterhood,

The next Grand Scratch will be 25-27 April in Santee. If you need hotel info please see me or Anna. Hope to see you all there, as always it will be a lot of fun. The third degree was held for some lucky individuals. Congratulations to Jackie Brooks and Eugene Jenkins for surviving the ordeal in good spirits. We also had three hardy individuals from Orangeburg PT 13 attend. Installation of officers was held on 29 March. Congratulations to the officers for next year. Hopefully it will be as good as or better than this year. The officers cannot do it without your help. Please plan to attend the monthly scratches to show your support. We will be doing wings on Wednesday the 30th of April since it is the 5th Wednesday in the month. Need everyone to come out and lend a hand. See you at the Grand in April or at the next scratch on 13 May.
L.O.T.C.S.

The post has still not reached 90% in membership, we now stand at 89.69% with 666 Life members and 186 annual paid to date. That is a total of 854 members now compared with an ending total of 980 last year. We should ALL be out signing up new members and there are plenty in our area eligible! Volunteers are always welcome in all facets of post activities. We can always use help with breakfasts, wing nights and our monthly spaghetti dinner. I am sure that the ladies auxiliary will welcome any who want to help also. Please support your post activities, remember, these activities and the profits from the canteen are what keep us solvent. The expense of operating our post are high, i.e., our utilities alone normally run between $2000 and $3000 per month and, just like all of us, the building is getting older and needs constant TLC. Not a week goes by that something needs repair or replacement. Those of you who have special talents especially in the renovation and repair areas are sorely needed. Just give us your name and we will be sure to keep you busy. (Please disregard the article following!!) MEDICAL ALERT
The Center for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly
contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand,
and even electronically. This virus is called Weary Overload Recreational
Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues or
anyone else via any means whatsoever – DO NOT TOUCH IT! This virus will wipe
out your private life completely. If you should come into contact with WORK
you should immediately leave the premises and take two good friends to the
nearest grocery store and purchase one or both of the antidotes – Work
Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employee Elimination
Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely
eliminated from your system.

One of thousands of questions researched for answers at: answers.yahoo.com . The best answer chosen by the asker is from Yahoo ID Swanheart:
Liberty is the essential heart of freedom. Liberty means being able to choose one's own actions, without intrusion by government. Every law that restricts your movement, your actions or your words is one that restricts your liberty.
Privacy is the notion that the government will not intrude upon actions that you intend to be private. For instance, intercepting someone's mail violates their privacy, as it is expected that only the recipient of the mail will read it.
Every infringement upon privacy can therefore potentially result in a infringement of liberty. For example, a wiretap could lead to an arrest.
People have a right to privacy, that is, they have a right to expect that the government will do as little as necessary to intrude upon their rights. This right is expressly provided for in the bill of rights. These rules govern due process. This is why the police must obtain a warrant to do a search.
Swanheart credited his source of information to: Harrybrowne.org/articles/PrivacyRight.htm
Harry Browne states that the Constitution is about what government can do. The ten amendments of the Bill of Rights spells out what the government may not do.
The 9th (IX) and 10th (X) Amendments is where Harry Browne feels is our right to privacy. The government has no right to do anything that is not specifically authorized in the Constitution.
Amendment IX:
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed
to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Amendment X:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to
the people.
The friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair.
He asked the good fathers to close down, but they wouldn't. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close.
Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that: Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars. ~ somewhere on the Internet
