Leesburg Bikefest Coming Soon

Leesburg Bikefest is right around the corner, and the Post has been doing all it can behind the scene to get ready. We have been preparing for our campers including upgrading water and electric for those renting our spaces. Many of the spaces are rented. We will again have a special issue Post Bikefest T-shirt. Plan on getting yours.

Now comes the part where we need help. Volunteers will be needed to help sell t-shirts, parking, and our many prepared meals. Sign-up sheets with shifts have been posted on the board. If you would like the best choice of shift, sign up early. If you feel like you can help, they may need help in cleaning up following cooking. Any time you give is appreciated.

If interested, feel free to contact an Officer.

Ladies Auxiliary Food Drive

If you’re going to the Post, please consider bringing an item to donate to the Leesburg Food Pantry. The Auxiliary Community Service Chairwoman Mary Ann Jarboe is assisting the pantry by collecting needed items each month. The pantry includes Mac & Cheese in every food basket it gives out to needy families, and they’re supply is low. For October, they are collecting Pasta – spaghetti, elbows, any kind of noodles.

Thank you in advance!

Honor Guard

We are still looking for volunteers to participate in our Honor Guard. Our post has almost 400 members, plus Sons of AMVETS and Ladies Auxiliary. We need at least five people to step up. It will be good to provide the honors earned to our deceased brothers and sisters and to participate in local events. Please consider signing up on one of the lists posted. You can also send an email to webmaster@amvets2006.org
