We are a Veteran non-profit organization, a place for Veterans and their families come together.
A Message from your Commander
I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve as your Commander. I have many ideas and excited about what we can accomplish together. However, I know that I cannot do this alone. I am relying on the dedication of our officers, Auxiliary, Sons and Riders and each and every member of this Post.
On that note, I am arranging a planning meeting on the first Thursday of the month. The goal will be to map out a year of events, projects and activities. Post Officers, Auxiliary, Riders and Sons are invited along with any other interested members.
2026-2027 Post 1 Officers:
Commander—Danette Gundy Trustee—Steve Morris
1st Vice—Michael Hardy Trustee—Vacant
2nd Vice—Vacant Trustee—Karen Good
3rd Vice—Danelle Wyatt Judge Advocate—Vacant
Finance—Vacant Adjutant—Vacant
As you can see, there are a few vacant positions. Please reach out to me directly if you are interested in stepping into one of these roles.
We are happy to share that Taco Tuesday and Friday night dinners are back. Thank you Gloria and her team who previously provided meals at the Post. We are currently working out the specifics—keep a look out for current information on our Facebook page and in Chappie’s Lounge.
Thank you for your support and dedication to Post 1!
Danette Gundy, Commander
