April 2026 Commander’s Message

Fellow Post 440 members,

Welcome to April.

Spring is here and April is full of Post activities. Come out, socialize and bring guest potential new members.

Sons Squadron 440 has started Memorial Day Parade planning. Please clear your calendars and come out and represent the Post in honoring those that have served and were lost. Our Post honor guard has held practice last week and is always looking for potential new members. It’s increasingly hard to muster a team for funerals etc in our area. Let Jules Ferraro ferraro.jules@gmail.com or myself know if you are interested.

Reminder, our Post General Membership and exec meetings are starting at 7pm starting this month with dinner starting at 6pm prior to General Membership meeting.
