Commander's Comments

I'd like to express my sincere appreciation to the following individuals who make our Post 130 Frank Gallino successful ...

First is Pete Vasilakos, without a doubt, Pete exudes tireless energy which equates into a profound popularity in his many dances, which in turn enhances our coffers and brings acknowledgments to our post ... Pete is always willing to go that extra mile ,not to mention the many honor guard missions he's led.

SECONDLY is our ladies Auxiliary, whose president Melise MUNROE sees to all the many incidental necessarily for the operations of special events and on going dinners as well ; her cooperation and assistance is unparalleled the ladies are our unsung heroes ...

Also JOHN Madeiros who diligently keeps our financial house in order, keeping us updated each and every month with exquisite reports on our balance sheet; also John manages our bar which produces a constant cash flow imperative to ongoing profits necessary to our financial needs.

And, of course, Mike HAUSER, who soo diligently handles the publicity, posters flyers news releases, which informs our vets and community members of up coming events ... MIKE also has been instrumental in NCCVC, grouping all veteran groups once a month in sharing the needs of our veteran community, thanks Mike you're a treasure.

And thanks to you all.
