19 JUNE 2025
Welcome to the reboot of the Bruce Post Email Blast. We have upgraded the platform to ensure greater stability and continuity with this communication stream.
A lot has happened since the last transmittal in March.
We’ve held elections of our Post and Auxiliary Officers. Please welcome Dave Ellis as our new Post Commander and let’s all thank Randell Shafer for his nine years of service.
The Bruce Post achieved 102 percent membership! More VFW members equal more benefits for veterans. Members who haven’t paid their annual dues should please see Dave Ellis (contact below) or the Quartermaster (Tim Litz) to pay your dues.
We’ve restarted the Car Cruise on Fridays from 4:00 – 8:00 (weather permitting). Please watch Facebook or call Errol (contact below) for updates.
Karaoke in the Clubroom with Abi will continue on 27 June with July and August TBD. We will restart as normal in September.
We need volunteers to help with food service offerings for special events such as the car cruise, gun and knife shows, and comic book shows. Please contact Errol to learn how to help.
Be a taxi cab for ideas. Join the Special Events Team. Our team is focused on improving the experience of our members and guests. All Post and Auxiliary active volunteers are welcome.
Thank you!
