If you need a ride to the meeting or want more information without any obligation call Past Post Commander James Egan at 732-341-4905, or one of the other Officers, and we will gladly pick you up and take you back home after the meeting.

Remember if you hear of any Post member passing away or being in the hospital, call any officer and let him know.
