Making a Difference while having Fun
As our 2023-2024 year ends this May, I am most grateful for the enthusiastic and talented group of board members and volunteers. You have helped us achieve record-breaking results this year. Membership is at an all-time high. Fundraising has reached a level like we have never seen.
I am proud to announce that because of your continuous efforts, we have managed to bring more than $45,000 to a long list of benefactors. You may be very surprised at all the good that comes from your hard work. The benchmark is set very high for the coming year. We need your support, more than ever. Many of you would love to volunteer and are just waiting to be asked. So, we are asking! Help us make a difference.
We would love to have you join the team by becoming a volunteer! LEARN MORE

$100,000 – Happy 5th Anniversary and Congratulations to the ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’ Team of Bill and Jane Thomas, Regina Goldman, Diane Tatman, and Crystal Kahut. This group has been together now for 5 years, and when this year’s GJWTHF event wraps up, it will have supported a long list of veteran and military charities with a staggering and unprecedented amount of $100,000 in cash donations.
Over the years the ‘Girls’ Team has managed to harness all the talents and energies of the entire Post. We truly are an amazing group, here at 598. So many
of you have done so much to ensure the success of this annual Ladies’ Lunch. Thank you, one and all, for your financial sponsorships, for your gift basket
donations, for the 1,000’s of hours of volunteer time, for participating every year, and for sharing our excitement.

Although the end of summer is bittersweet, we can still celebrate the change in seasons. This newsletter’s calendar promises plenty to do at 598 – Pizza is back, more outdoor bands and dancing, lots of your Favorite Fall Dinners, another Kid’s Party, and Halloween ‘Mrs. Roper-style. Now that’s a ‘House Full of Fun’ to carry your Summer spirit into the Fall.
