SPRING TOTAL

SPRING 2025 MEETING

 

Our spring meeting was hosted by Vinnie Messina at the Memphis, Mi. Merrick-Potter-Schribner American Legion Post 556 with 19 members in attendance.

 

A hats off to the cooks at the American Legion, they served up a great meal of Mostaccioli, salad, rolls and dessert and beverage with enough left over for those who wanted could leave with a take home box.

 

President Doug Sherd could not make the meeting due to health issues. Vice President Mike Jaciuk stepped in and did an excellent job in running the meeting. Full meeting minutes will be put on our web site as soon as they become available.

 

Thank you Vinnie for hosting, a GREAT JOB!
