As you can guess our plumbing problem has been fixed, and we are back in business. Sunday Breakfast is to resume, with some additions. New items for trial, to see if you
enjoy them.   These were taken from some suggestions made from one or two of our members.  
 
I encourage all of you to place you email address in the box to the right of the blog message, this way you will receive the information timely, and I won't have to send so many emails.(HA) once you place your email there once, it automatically sends the blog to you for you enjoyment. For you receiving this as just an email, our blog address is (americanlegionpost81.blogspot.com)
type this where you would normally type your www. things, but do not type the www just the letters in red above.

Wow! The dinner went great, all had a good time, and we were at capacity, it was a wonderful
thing to see all the support from our members and their family and friends.

WE NEED YOUR HELP


Here’s some  information on the Moving Wall.  Any and all volunteers are welcome.
Thanks.

The Moving Wall
Rio Rancho Sports Complex
3501 High Resort Blvd

16-21 Oct 2013

Oct 16, 0800 – Need volunteers to help build the platform for the wall at Rio Rancho Sports Complex.

Oct 17, 0700 – Staging at the Extended Stay America Motel, 2221 Rio Rancho Blvd SE, (NM 528) (across from Intel on the west side of NM 528) for motorcycle escort for the Moving Wall vehicles from the Extended Stay America Motel to the Rio Rancho Sports Complex on High Resort.  This will be a short, quick ride escorted by Rio Rancho PD.  Entry to the Sports Complex will be at the west gate, then around north of the soccer field to a position opposite the location where the Moving Wall will be placed.  The goal is to arrive at the Sports Complex at 0800.  POC is Floyd Jaramillo, 505 883-9676

Oct 18, 0900 – Establish a flag line around the Moving Wall at the Rio Rancho Sports Complex prior to and during the opening ceremonies, which will begin at 1000.  We need to have as many flags available as possible, as there will likely be a lot of people to hold flags. POC is Larry Wiles, 505 385-6787.

Need volunteers to provide 24/7 security for the wall, man the information booth, and to read names.  Please contact Maggie Meadows (505 453-1124) for more information and to sign up for time slots. 

Also need volunteers to help assemble and dismantle the Moving Wall.  They require the same group of people to do both tasks.  Contact Floyd (Firecracker) Jaramillo (505 883-9676) for information and to volunteer.

Call any of the above numbers to get information on exactly where you services will be needed.  Help if you can, a very important event for all Veterans.
