This Year's New Years Eve Party at the Post 8 cabin was a rousing good time. The Post bar staff were kept busy doing their "barista thing" for a lot of folks in a party mood. Bar receipts were VERY good for the evening. People were geared up to chase out the old and welcome in the brand new 2016. Optimisn seemed to prevail all around.
The Post 8 Executive Committee voted all in favor of allowing VEVA to use our cabin hall to host their monthly meetings. In effect then, Post 8 is now VEVA's new home. A huge WELCOME HOME to our brothers in arms. They will meet on every second Tuesday at 7:00pm.
It's become an annual thing with Post 8 that when the Shrine Circus rolls into town we purchase $500 dollars worh of tickets and give them out to local kids. It's a great tradition that we hope to continue as long as the Circus visits Pierre.
Taking over in May, with many members returning again to serve on the Executive Committee are: Commander- Randy Dickerson, 1st Vice-Jerid Clap, 2nd Vice-Robert McDonald, Finance- Harvey Hill, Chaplain-John Fette, VSO- Tom Murphy, Judge Advocate- Hal Rumpca, Historian- Ralph Bush, Sgt at Arms- Mike Wells, and 4 members at large- Elton Blemaster, Ollie Redden, Mike Mehlhaff, and Greg Hall.
