As you all know, as part of the effort to reduce the spread of the coronavirus, all restaurants, bars and meeting places, were ordered closed. What that means to the Post is no revenue coming in from bar patrons, pull tabs and hall rentals. This has caused a great hardship on the Post to meet its financial obligations like loan payment, utilities, etc.

I am suggesting that all Post, Auxiliary, SAL and Rider members consider making a donation to our Post to help it through these tough times. We (at least most of us) will be receiving a stimulus check for $1,200 and I am suggesting that you consider donating some of that to the Post. If we could all see the way to donate at least $25-$50, that would be a great help. I would also like to ask the Auxiliary, SAL and Riders to each make a donation from their treasury.

Please make your check payable to AL Post 170 and mail c/o
Roberta O’Dowd, 9 Davis Drive, Lodi, NJ 07644 as she is the bookkeeper.

I want to thank you all in advance as I know many will help our Post in its time of need.

For God an Country,
Edward O’Dowd
Commander
