Sandy VFW Post & Aux 38452 Proctor Blvd Sandy OR 97055 503-668-5211 First to serve our Veterans POST COMMANDER S COMMENTS This month I cannot stress enough the importance of support for our post. We need to have a Sr. Vise, Adjutant and Quarter master elected ASAP. We have been having issues since the elections with having people involved who are up for the tasks at hand. I understand we all have lives and get busy, I know that part more than anyone working 7-14hr days a week right now! I also know however we have all made a commitment to our soldiers past present and future by being part of this great organization. Please let the post know if you have any time to possibly fill one of our officers positions. Folks we are getting desperate to fill these positions and others within the post to keep it open and running. It must stay open to help serve our veterans past present and future.. Look within yourself and your day to day life.. What have you done for the Sandy VFW lately? Stand, be proud and get involved! Come to the meetings and see what is happening within the post and where you might be able to help our veterans and the post!

Post Chaplin Page 3 It has come to my attention that rumors and facts have been discussed in public and spoke into the ears of non-members by both Ladies Aux and Post members. This has a severe negative effect on our post.this is inappropriate and cannot be tolerated. We need to embrace the many gifts and talents that each individual brings to our post Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Matthew 22:34-40 Who so keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. Proverbs 21:23 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. Proverbs 18:6-7 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
