The Greene Legion Post had its monthly meeting on Monday Feb 4 at our room at 7 S Canal St. The staff meeting which was supposed to take place the previous week, but was postponed due to weather, took place right before the monthly meeting.

The Post has gotten Legion Signs that will be posted around town in the coming future. A new Garrison Flag was purchased which will be displayed at the Memorial Day Parade and other events. Events for the Parade were discussed.

The Post authorized the purchase of service flags for the All Veterans Memorial. Thanks to community folks who donated the funds for these flags. It was announced the boys that were selected to go to Boys State. Shortly we will be setting up a date to interview girls for the Girls Leadership Day.

Girls Leadership Day was innovatively started by our Post to bring outstanding High School Junior Girls to Albany to meet with legislators. There is a Girls State but it is smaller than Boy's State with Post Auxiliary Groups filling the slots. Greene does not have an auxiliary. We encourage women who have served to join us as regular members.

The meeting ended with an excellent picture presentation by George Estey on his trip as a booster on the Southern Tier Honor Flight 2 day bus trip to Washington DC. George captured the joy of aged Vets that went on the trip and all they saw. Next month the Post will have its monthly meeting at the Oxford Veterans Home.
