A Message From The Club Manager
Hello, it’s 2015! Christmas and New
Years Eve are behind us, at least for the next
10 months. Old man winter is still here, but
spring is just around the corner; instead of
shoveling snow, we will be mowing grass and
gardening which is better than shoveling any
day of the week.
Saturday, February 14th is a big
night for all the lovebirds. We are having a
Valentines Bingo night with dinner and two
free drinks upstairs in the ballroom. There
will be door prizes and the Auxiliary is having a bake sale so you can buy your lovebird
something sweet to eat. Come on out and enjoy good food, drinks, play bingo and win
some money. Clear Spring Legion is the only
place you can go that pays you 100% of the
bingo money. We don’t take 1/2, 1/3, or even
1/4 of the money. We give it all back to you.
We do sell a 50/50 which is all the club
makes off of bingo. There is even some kind
of dessert to give away like cakes, cookies or
candy. We have good people working our
bingo nights. You never know where you
may hear bingo: Bingo at the bar, in the corner, “I won!” “Hell yeah!” bingo, and sometimes you can’t hear them call bingo. They
must be shy, like me. We all have fun and
that’s what it’s all about.
The Tank You List

To Ashley Mills for shopping the toys for
tots. She really knows how to make the
most out of a buck. Good job!

To Jill Baum and Mary House for all the
decorating for Christmas and New Years
Eve. Good Job!

To all our employees. Keep up the good
work!

To Laura Blair for helping with the children on the Santa event at the Clear
Spring Legion December 13th.

To Jill Baum for working the kitchen all
day Sunday, January 11th.

Irene was sick and no one else would work. Zach helped out
Jill and the two of them did a good job.

To ALL the Legion and S.A.L. members that volunteer
to help with the military funerals. It’s a sad time for the
families, but it’s an honor, for us as volunteers, to be
able to provide these services for their loved ones.
Sometimes we don’t have enough volunteers, but we
make do (as in double duty). With that being said, if
February 1, 2015
you are called to help, please try and make it. If there’s
too many, you can watch and learn to see how it’s done.
When you volunteer, you get a free drink and a sandwich for helping, which is good to use anytime, from the
Clear Spring Legion. Thank You.
Curt Kayser, Club Manager
S.A.L.
Rest assured SAL members, spring is coming, sometime. With winters icy grip still upon us it seems far away.
We do however have some upcoming events that may thaw
us out some. On Saturday March 28th there will be a 100
club drawing and a chance to win $1000. This is always a
popular event and a great time. Tickets are for sale behind
the bar or you can contact me (Rob) at 1-301-730-5253 for
further information.
We have also received a request from the Martinsburg
VA Center for the following items: Clothing (men’s and
women’s), Books, Magazines, Phone cards, Postage Stamps,
Playing cards, Crossword, Word find and Puzzle books.
There is a refined list posted in the coat rack area of the Legion restaurant, please take note of the particulars on the list
as there are “Non-Acceptable Items” as well.
The SAL/Fire Co. Gun Drawing will be on June 13th
this year. Tickets will soon be available. This is one of the
biggest SAL fundraisers for the year. Look forward to seeing you all there.

The Last Man’s Club
In the interest that the final roster of the LMC be accurate, I checked the returned reservation cards of the last
meeting to determine those present. They are listed as follows: Andrew Dowin, Dan Fleming, Doug Gearhart, Kenneth Clopper, Daryl Shirley, Robert Carbaugh Jr., Rod Rohrer, Wm Hose, John Royer, E. Hawbaker, Carl Hawbaker,
Brady Haines, Dale Hull, Ernest Long, Gerald Rubeck, Elanor Bowles, Donald Forsyth, Stephen Crist, Jesse Wolfe,
Dale Binkley, Richard Yeakle, Royce Robinson, James Hutson, Thomas Knode, Phil Burgan, Carl Forsyth, Lynn Hull,
Robert Skipper, Larry Michael, Gerald Lee and Michael
Shirk. Please let me know if I missed anyone.
Originally, some 60 plus Viet Nam vets pledged interest in joining, however, only 25 plus came to the meeting.
It was moved by the club that any pledge who did not attend
the 2014 meeting and do not attend the 2015 meeting will
not be included in the final roster and therefore not a member of the LMC. After the meeting of 2015, membership
will be closed. Thanks.
