2018 Special Events
New Hall Names Fundraiser - November / december
I know the election is over - but we have a new fund raiser here at the post and it all focuses on giving you all the opportunity to cast your votes.
You are all aware that we are almost finished with the back hall project and now we need to work on naming the hall because let's face it calling it the "back hall" just isn't going to cut it.
We wanted to give you all the opportunity to weigh in and thought why not turn this into a fun fundraiser. So starting this weekend there will boxes available in the main canteen for you all to vote on the new name.
You cast your votes by placing money in the box with the name you like best. We will be naming both the main canteen and the back hall. As of right now we have suggestions of Liberty / Freedom and North / South, If you have any other suggestions please let me know.
All funds raised will be donated to the Department Commander charity which focuses on providing relief for Women Homeless Veterans in the state of Florida.

Full of Crepe does offer a lineup of sweet crepe classics like Crepe Suzette and Bavarian Creme. But they also boast a full menu of savory lunch/dinner worthy options to suit any palate.
Some of the crowd favorites include the Italian crepe and the Monte Cristo crepe. The Italian is a meaty, melty combo of salami, pepperoni, cappicola, and sundried tomato, all held together with mozzarella and topped off with a balsamic drizzle. It is savory and rich and pretty much perfect. Looking for something more classic? Try the Monte Cristo crepe, which has ham, turkey, and mozzarella cheese. This savory crepe is accented by a tart and sweet raspberry preserves and a dusting of powdered sugar. It is a great twist on the standard Monte Cristo and makes for a tasty and indulgent meal.
