November 2021

The SAL meetings are now on the second Thursday of each month and are held at the Post 3 office just south of 84th and “O” street. Please try to attend if you are able. It has been a tradition for the SAL to provide food baskets for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but with the situation that we are in now, it isn’t feasible. I have been looking for other outlets for SAL to contribute to the veterans’ community. With the addition of the Victory Park apartments, I have offered the services of the SAL to see what we could do for the residents. It appears that the meals are taken care of by HyVee and other local groups. It is a new complex, so they do have some other things that we can provide. Rugged patio furniture would be nice, but it is too late in the season for that. Patio heaters seemed to be a good solution, so I purchased two of them in the name of the SAL. They came un-assembled so that the veterans would take some claim to them and take good care of them.
