NEW AMVETS VSO AT CINCINNATI VAMC
AMVETS has a new Veterans’ Service Officer at the Cincinnati VAMC.
Michael J. Templeton is available 8:30AM – 2:00PM (Mon-Fri) in the VSO Suite,
Room B149 which is on the First Floor near the auditorium and the Chapel.
His phone number is (513) 487-6054.
Michael is a retired Marine Corp Sgt. Major. I stopped by his office to meet him and invite him to join Post 1988. He seems willing and able to assist AMVETS members and dependents in matters related to VA benefits. We have been without a service officer for quite a while, I hope he has a long career in Cincinnati.

The summer grill outs are going well. Please come out and enjoy good food, great friends, and support your post!!! As always the donation of side dishes and deserts are always welcome and appreciated! Help is always needed also (grilling, runners, ticket sellers, and clean-up).
The Post election of Officers was held at the June 3rd General Membership Meeting. Thanks to everyone that participated in the election and to those who filled all offices! Please come out and attend your meetings. More input from the membership is always needed and they usually last no more than an hour and are never boring.
We had our bi-annual planning committee meeting in June, for the next six months of activities. We will try and give everyone at least two months notice for upcoming activities. If you would like to have any additional activities please bring your ideas to a meeting.
We are still looking for events to have on Saturdays. If any member has a up coming birthday, anniversary, or other family event, please think about having it at the Post. Please welcome our new
barmaid “Debi” for Saturday nights.

AUXILIARY NEWS (by PRO Kim Nichols)
Happy July to all. Hope everyone is enjoying the summer weather.
The Ladies auxiliary met on June 10th. We will be continuing to sponsor the 2nd grill out of the month. We still need members to help with preparation, split the pot and handling the orders. Any side dishes and desserts will be gladly accepted. Many thanks to Jackie Heiert and Boomie (the Great Grillmasters) and the other members who have helped so far.
The Auxiliary hosted the outing to the VA Nursing Home on June 4th. While we did have several volunteers, we can always use more. The next outing with be July 2nd. Please consider donating a few hours of time that night to help out at the Nursing Home and bring some joy to the residents.
Mark your calendars – we will be holding wine tastings on July 29th and September 30th. These will be great opportunities to bring a friend or two and encourage them to join the Post. Watch for the signs posted for more details.
As mentioned before, Saturday nights have been slow at the bar. If you have a special occasion (birthday, anniversary or some other celebration) please consider having it at the Post on a Saturday night.
We are still accepting donations of personal care items, prescription bottles, eyeglasses and can tabs. Several people have dropped off empty beer and soda cans for us to take to the recycling center. We appreciate it but please make sure the bags contain only aluminum cans.
We can never express enough gratitude for our men and women who are serving and having served our Country. Remember them and their families in your prayers. God Bless this great nation.
