Attached are the minutes and treasurer report from our April meeting.  We had 2 great speakers at our meeting and it resulted in a $500 donation to the Honor Flight program and a invitation to participate in the Camp Smith revitalization efforts. We are looking forward to an OGR of the post this spring, so stay in touch for details.  We will pass on the progress of both as they develop.

Our new meeting place, Sergios Restaurant was well received and we will be holding our next meeting on June 9, 2018  NOON at this same location.  Our guest speaker at that time will be Mr. Charles Ford. He will be giving us some intimate details of Douglas MacArthur, the General and the man.  Join us, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

During the month of April we met with The Father of Emmanuel Mensah, Kwabena Mensah. On behalf of the entire Association we presented a check to his father of $1500 (see attached Photo). The meeting was coordinated By the parish priest Father Xavier of Mount Carmel Church. As you recall the remarkable story of our comrade Emmanuel on leave from Basic Training, rescued residents of a burning building in the Bronx.  He was posthumously conferred  the Soldiers Medal and the New York State Medal of Valor.

Heads up!!!
