Christmas Basket Update

As a reminder, the post will be handing out Christmas baskets from 9:00 a.m. till noon on Sunday, December 21. I will be posting a sign-up sheet at the bar for volunteers and volunteers with trucks to help transport the food from Cub Food on Knoxville to the post. I am only looking for five trucks to meet at Cub no later than 7:00 a.m. on the 21st. All other volunteers need to be at the post by 7:15 to help put the baskets together. I look forward to seeing you there.

So far we have raised $2,000 for the baskets with help from the following sponsors:

Peoria Jaycees

Retired Firefighters

Ladies Auxiliary

Abraham Amusement

The Voelker Family

Bob and Nancy Cone

Dale Jennings

Jerry McGowan

Stacy Bowman


We can still use more donations as the baskets will cost close to $5,000. Donations can be made at the post. Please make checks payable to AMVETS. Thank you.
