The William H Crippen Post 62 of Humboldt held their regular meeting on Monday, September 4, 2017. We had the salute to the Flag and the Pledge of Allegiance. Minutes and Treasurer’s reports were given and approved. No new reports of anyone on sick call, just a few recovering. Commander Chuck Dubbe read a thank-you card from the Grace family.
We discussed the Dinner Party, including when we would set up tables for the event. We will have a ticket sellers meeting on Monday, September 11. We also remember the horrible event that happened that day sixteen years ago in New York City.
Fred Lee told the members about the County meeting in Colton last week. Chuck told the members about our speaker that night, who talked about a program senior adults and other handicapped persons. It was a program sponsored by the VA and Sanford Health, but they are still needing funds for incidentals. Our next meeting will be on October 24, in Dell Rapids.
After these discussions, the meeting was adjourned.
