MERRY CHRISTMAS

Just returned from the monthly American Legion, Post #1, Santa Fe, New Mexico monthly meeting and Christmas party.

The VVA is requesting names and photographs of veterans killed in action who were from New Mexico.  This information will go towards the Vietnam Veterans Museum in Washington, D.C.  Bring a brief history of the veteran and a photograph to your local Fed Ex where it will be photocopied and sent to the museum, at no cost to you.

Tickets are on sale to veterans for the annual American Legion Post #1, Santa Fe, NM New Years Party; the festivities begin at 20:00 to 00:01, food, music by Los Camaros and drink will be available, a low cost taxi service will also be provided so you do not need to worry about a possible D.U.I., the service will pick you up and bring you home after your celebration.

January 8, 2010, "Gato," our bar manager, will sponsor a party for post members.  

Congratulations to Bonifacio Benavidez, he volunteered to be our 2nd Vice Commander.  The post still needs a volunteer to be our Chaplain.
