January 2026 Commander’s Message

Fellow Post 440 members,

Welcome to 2026! I hope everyone has been having a happy holiday season and enjoying time with family and friends.

Reflecting on some of our most recent events at the Post we’ve been having some good times recently.

With our Son’s of the American Legion Squadron we’ve had a Eagles, MNF and poker fundraiser that went really well and was a great time.

We also had another successful Army/Navy game. Our tailgate trophy winner was one of our event sponsors Kenderdine's Heating Oil & HVAC. I look forward to an even bigger and better event in 2026 with more tailgate sponsors

Our annual post holiday dinner was extremely well attended with 106 people attending. We had another great meal by Joe Garvey. Thanks Joe! We had to add tables and chairs to compensate for the larger than expected crowd. Next year make sure you RSVP early or you might end up sitting at the “kids table” 😉

Some new changes to our monthly member meeting at the Post. We have made some planned changes to how we work dinner around our meeting. Instead of eating dinner after the meeting which ends up being late in the evening, we are going to have a dinner buffet set up downstairs starting at 6pm and available up to our meeting time of 730pm then will resume again after our meeting. You do not have to be at the Post at 6pm to eat, come any time that works for you, we will have dinner available and you can eat or not eat as you please. I encourage everyone to come early and enjoy some dinner, adult beverages and conversations with fellow Post members. We also encourage you to bring potential new Post members.

Upcoming Activities
