 December is always a busy month for VFW Post 1454 beginning with our Wreaths Across America participation. We had a wonderful turnout for this special event. Click HERE to see our 2019 Wreaths Across America photos. The Post Auxiliary sponsored a local family for Christmas this year and received a wonderful thank you note from the family. Thank you Char & Jeanne for heading up this project! Our Auxiliary also shipped 8 boxes of goodies to our Troops overseas. Char received a text from Benjamin that all of the boxes had arrived in time for Christmas. Deck the Halls, VFW Post 1454's hall that is. Club Manager Ellen has been busy decorating the hall for our New Year's Eve celebration. It's been a busy month for hall rentals too. Private parties, wedding receptions, family gatherings & more. Keep us in mind for your next event!  Shout out to Juan & Steve the Volunteer Floor Cleaning Crew! Thank you for your hard work. The floors look great! Perfect for dancing in the New Year. FYI - Our New Year's Eve Party is SOLD OUT!  New chairs for the New Year! New chairs for the Post have arrived. Huge thanks to James & our Post Auxiliary for handling the order, purchasing the chairs & finding a home for our old chairs, and to Char & Jeanne for helping unwrap all the new chairs. Yes, December has been a busy month but we always have plenty of fun too. We celebrated the holidays and December birthdays for two special members of our VFW Family. Happy Birthday Commander Vic and Club Manager Ellen!

Next Fish Fry October 25th - Public Welcome! Attention Euchre Players - Coming in November  There's something to be said about a man with a plan. When Post Member Jeff Humphrey's plan to repair the kitchen roof at our Post didn't go quite as planned, he came up with an alternative. A Go Fund Me Campaign to obtain the funding for the building materials needed to repair our kitchen roof. Jeff created the Go Fund Me Campaign and published it to our Post's Facebook page to get the ball rolling. Through the powers of social media, Jeff's Go Fund Me Campaign caught the attention of the Alma City Police Department. They pledged their support with a "No Shave November" fundraiser with proceeds supporting our Post's roofing repairs.  Our Go Fund Me Campaign also caught the attention of the local news, WMEN Channel 5. They sent a crew out to interview Jeff. If you missed the broadcast, you can read the article & watch the news story by clicking HERE.   Donations Are Also Accepted At VFW Post 1454 In Person Or By Mailing:
