| January 9th 2010 Veterans Bingo |
| Once having gotten everyone off the buses and seated in the hall, Chet Teater Welcomed the Vets to the Post. Arrangements were made for those in Electric Wheel chairs to set at the tables. Each Vet was able to have a volunteer assist them if they so desired. There were also volunteers standing by to get drinks or other refreshments for them |
| For every Bingo, that person picked an envelope. Each envelope contained money of various denominations. As Bingo progressed the search for the right envelope became more intense, as one contained $50. It put a lot of smiles on everyone's faces. |
| The main course for the Vets was our famous Fish Fry. They greatly appreciated their meal with Pizza from Three Brothers Pizza in Middleville. |
| The ALR provided a sack ditty bag with socks, soap, candy, deck of playing cards, ink pen, notepad and other toiletries. |
| At 4:30 it was time to go. The Vets were helped by the volunteers to get ready |
| All in all everyone had a great time and it seems as though the Volunteer's may have had a better time than the Vets. Much discussion took place in the Lounge following the Veterans departure. |
| Some of the many Volunteers |

| Thank you again to Cindy Teater for providing the excellent pictures. She gave an individual picture to each Veteran or spouse. All the Vets enjoyed posing. |
| Special guests were Mr. & Mrs. Bob Roush, whose son, Nick Roush was killed in Afghanistan this past summer. They brought gifts for each of the Vets. |
| We were also pleased to Welcome Home Cpl. Mike Abbott USMC. His mother was in attendance helping with the Vets and Mike became our newest member. |
