What’s happening in the District?

A special thanks goes out to our 5th District Chaplain, Bill Reno, who was able to pull together another awl inspiring Four Chaplain’s service. Congratulations Bill for job very well done.

Big thanks to Posts 137 and 283 in their continue efforts to assist in the Blood program.

The Beaches Veterans Association, composed of American Legion Post 129 and 316, Fleet Reserve Post 290, and the VFW Post 3270 have raise over $8000.00 for the No Dough Dinners held by the Mayport USO for all E-4’s and below and their families. Their continue efforts in supporting the Mayport USO over the past 12 months has had impressive results and we must also mention that another American Legion Post 233 has requested to take part in the meal rotation. This has brought 3 Veteran Organizations and 3 American Legion Posts giving there assistance to the USO in there mission in servicing Our Active Duty Service Members. Well done.

Yours in Service
