April showers bring May flowers. March was again a very successful month. A few notable events were the Riders Texas Hold-em tourney, a

great Steak Night, Breakfast, entertainment in the Lounge and of course the Ameri-can Legion Birthday Party. Great Month!!

This month starts off with our General Membership Meeting on the 7th, fol-lowed by the Auxiliary Breakfast on the 9th. Please come out and make the break-fast a successful event! We have made a priority to have the breakfast each and eve-ry month, no exception. The American Legion Department of KY Spring Confer-ence will be held on the 15th and 16th in Florence, KY. On the 23rd our Sons of the Legion will be having their annual Road Block. The more volunteers they have the more money they can have to donate back to the community. Follow us on Face-book and look for more upcoming events such as Steak Nights, entertainment, etc.

Importantly, remember we are a Legion family made up of the Legionaries, Sons of the Legion, Legion Riders, and Auxiliary. Just because we refer to events as the Auxiliary Breakfast, or the SAL Road Block or the ALR Hold-em Tournament that does not mean that anyone in any of our family groups can not come out and volunteer.

Elections coming up in May, Stand Up, Step Up, Make a Difference. Run for an Office.

Randy Harris, Commander

April has arrived with beautiful weather! With Spring and Easter comes a time of renewal as we watch Mother Earth come alive. Take this time of year to volunteer, attend functions, and-

support our post. What a great time will be had at the upcoming Spring Conference, April 15th and 16th, 2016 at Hilton Cincinnati Airport Hotel, 7373 Turf way Road, Florence, Kentucky. 40142. I hope you will join me! We urge anyone who has not paid 2016 membership, please do so. During our April 14 General Membership Meeting, the Auxiliary will hold our prayer service for our members who have passed in the last year. Family members are welcome to attend. May is the time for the Election of new officers in The American Legion Auxiliary. Come be a part of our Auxiliary, bring your talents and ideas.

Riders, Spring is finally here and we have had several oppor-

tunities to ride so let’s continue with our plans for the great

summer that is coming! April brings us the Teddy Bear Run

on the 2nd to Bowling Green and on the 9th we have our Texas Hold-em Poker tour-

nament to raise money for the DAV Benevolent Fund and that money will go direct-

ly to support Veterans in need. Hopefully we’ll have a good turnout for both of

these events. We are planning a ride for “Hands are for Helping” on the 16th so

watch for information on that event. On the 23rd we will have our safety day and

Kick Start Party that had to be moved because of weather and our monthly meeting

on the 28th. The next big Legion event is Spring Conference in Florence KY on the

15th to the 17th and some may ride up for that event. As plans are developed we will

let everyone know. That is it for planned rides for April but, hopefully, we can get

in some retiree rides through the week and everyone should be able to dust off the

winter from their bikes and get some much anticipated wind therapy.

The next thing that we all should be doing is reviewing the ride schedule

and planning which of the rides that we would like to make for the upcoming sum-

mer months. We have a good ride schedule but remember, if you have any more

ideas or just want to do a ride at the last moment just let us know and we’ll see if we

can get some of our members to accompany you to help make it a better memory.

Please think about the various jobs that we need done. Step up to the plate and run

for one of our officer positions and help us all do a better job of planning rides and

operating this Chapter for the good of everyone. Elections are in May this year as

usual and that meeting will be on the 19th so everybody planning Memorial Day

rides/activities can have input to our election process before they leave for the long

weekend.

Check out our webpage at (http://alrelizabethtownky.shivtr.com/) and our

Facebook page. Don’t miss any information relevant to our riding season. We may

be trying out a new application for our smart phones, “Team Snap”. If it works as

well as everyone envisions it will replace our webpage which does not see much ac-

tivity anyway. However, our Facebook page will remain active.

Chaplains Corner Gratitude and Thanksgiving

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. I Thessalonians 5:16 God notices the grateful heart! Does God have an ego problem? No. But we do. Gratitude lifts our eyes off the things we lack, so we can see the blessings we possess. Nothing blows the winter out of the day like a Caribbean breeze of thankfulness. If you look long enough and hard enough, you’ll find something to belly-ache about. So quit looking! Take your eyes off the weeds. Collect your blessings. I Thessalonians 5:16 says “Always be joyful. Pray continually, and give thanks—whatever hap-pens. That’s what God wants for you in Christ Jesus.” Gratitude is always an op-tion. Make it your default emotion and you’ll find yourself giving thanks for the problems of life. Im-possible you say? How do you know? How do you know until you give every day a chance! .

Please remember our legion family in prayer: Family of Henry Barnes

Please feel free to contact Post 113 Chaplain Bill, for prayer needs and also to share our legion blessings.

The American legion was founded on four pillars: Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation, National Security, Americanism, and Children & Youth. Each of these pillars encompasses a variety of programs that benefit our nation’s veterans, its service members, their families, the youth of America and our local community. These programs make a differencein hundreds of thousands of lives each year.

These programs, and the men and women who take the time to perform them, are what allow The American Legion to make a difference locally, and at the state and national levels. The net proceeds from this tournament help support these programs.
