OUR NEXT MEETING
Thursday 09JUL2009 at 7:00pm
We have sold over $1,000 in tickets for the M1903 Springfield fundraiser that we are raffling off on Thursday, November 12, 2009. Tickets are $5 each or can be sold 5 tickets for $20. Top seller gets a $50 Cash Reward from the post! We will have a table available at the gun show in Hickory being held on June 27 and 28. Let us know if you can volunteer.
Commander Pipes presented Walter Moore with a framed certificate of appreciation for his fundraising efforts at the Hudson Butterfly Festival held on Saturday, May 2, 2009. This was the last presentation that Commander Pipes made as our commander before the changing of the guard. After serving five years as our Hudson Post 392 Commander, Danny has stepped down. He has not gone far, however, he will be serving as our Jr. Vice Commander.
We held a discussion and decided to have our Finace Officer to get three prices for material for a metal roof for our Legion Hall. Membership gave their approval and realized that we cannot wait any longer and must move forward with foof repairs. A visitor to our post, whom shall remain nameless until he gives consent to let his name be made public, kicked off the building fund with a personal donation of $50. He knows who he is and if he is reading this, Hudson Post 392 greatly appreciates his generous gift.
Post 392 Officers for 2010 were installed and sworn in at this meeting.

Ronald McDonald House Can Tab Drive
Please, remember to bring in all of the drink can tabs that you are able to collect or save to each meeting. The American Legion, Department of North Carolina has partnered with the Ronald McDonald House in Durham, NC in the form of collecting drink can tabs. The tabs collected from a post are sold and the money is donated to the Ronald McDonald House in your post's name. The Ronald McDonald House helps provide rooms for the parents of patients at Duke University Childrens Hospital to stay in so they can be near there child during their hospital stay. There is a small nominal fee for the rooms, however, many families cannot afford this fee and the money received from the can tab sales helps to pay these fees for those that may be less fortunate.

Our Total Was:
