To All the Stahl Post Family
It has been some time since we have been in touch and for that I would like to apologize, but it became too costly and time consuming to continue a newsletter by mail.
In an effort to keep as many members as possible informed, we have revamped our website and moved to: stahlpost30.org. It is much more user-friendly for Mr. Panichelli to administer. Please feel free check it out for information on post activities and other legion happenings. We will always endeavor to keep our website current but keep in mind that things don’t always work out as planned. Please check with the Post @302-328-9715 to make sure an activity hasn’t been cancelled at the last minute.
Our new Adjutant, Joe Waegele, is compiling email addresses to distribute a newsletter electronically. We have a new email address: newsletter@stahlpost30.org where you can leave your email if you would like to receive the newsletter. As we get better at compiling the newsletter, Joe’s hope is that we will be able to do these monthly. If you do not have access to the internet and would like to be kept apprised of the post happenings, please send your address to the post and we will set up a mailing list for those that need it.
To let our membership know that we do contribute to our veterans and our community, here are some of the things that we were involved in last year:
In 2011, we hosted the National Commander’s Luncheon in March and multiple fundraisers for distressed people in the community. Along with an Easter Egg Hunt, Christmas parties for our children and post and a St Patrick’s/ Post Anniversary party. We also host all District #2 AL meetings throughout the year along with District #2 oratorical contest in December. We are home to various organizations without a place for their meetings.
In 2011, we sponsored our Stahl Post #30 AL Baseball team coming in second in the state. We are very proud of our team and also Wilson Field off Rte. 13 behind Price Toyota and Carman Fiat. This year we hosted the AL State baseball tournament at Wilson Field. Wilmington University and Price Auto Group are truly great sponsors of all we try to do at Wilson Field.
We also sponsor a 60+ softball team, a 65+ softball team, a women’s softball team, and two men’s softball teams in leagues in the county, and a 12u baseball team.
We also had visitations at the VA Nursing Home at Easter, Christmas and a picnic in the summer.
We are in the process of a possible move of the post home to Wilson Field. We have a floor plan in place and are in the process of accepting proposals for the engineering. We hope to make a move within two years. The floor plan is available on our website along with approximate position in left center field. Any donations that a member would like to make toward this endeavor, please feel free to forward the donation to the post with the designation “Building Fund” and your donation will be posted to a donors list that will be memorialized in the new building.
Needless to say these endeavors cost money. Our goal is to advocate for our post members, our veterans and our community. Our goal is that any of our members that are able to make a commitment to volunteer time or funds, please consider attending a meeting and get involved with the organization. The appropriate meeting nights are on our website.
Our Holiday Lottery was a huge success this past Christmas due to some great ticket sellers in the Post. 1000 tickets were sold for $20.00 each. Each evening the Delaware night number drawing was used to award various cash prizes to a lucky ticket holder. 91 cash prizes ranging from $50 to $1000 were awarded from October through December. A Holiday Bonus Drawing was held at the annual Post Christmas Party on December 10, 2011 for $1000 using the stubs that were returned for the raffle. We plan to have this drawing each Christmas, but since these are numbered tickets we cannot send them out and have a chance of them not being returned. To take a chance in the lottery this coming fall, please call the Post Home and we will let you know when tickets will be available and how you may purchase them.
We have also decided to hold a 4th of July raffle to be drawn at the picnic at Wilson Field.
This year the prizes will include: 1st Prize - 50” LG HD TV MSRP $749.99
2nd Prize - 32” LG HD TV MSRP $399.99
3rd Prize - LG Blu-Ray Player MSRP $119.99
Tickets will be $5.00 for one or 3 for $10.00.
Fill out the stubs and return in the envelope provided. If you wish to have more tickets sent to you, please feel free to contact us and we will send them to you. We will ship any prize won to any of our out-of-state participants.
As we proceed with our plans for the future, we will need of all our members to make every effort to help attain these goals. Please feel free to offer any ideas that you might have to help us reach our goals.
Our goal is to have a first class post home where our members may gather and socialize.
Please remember that we are all in this together.
In Comradeship,
Frank Clymer
Post Commander
