Past Events

Post 105 SOS Breakfast Welcomes ALA
District 26 Officers

In August, P105 hosted another SOS Breakfast. U105 welcomed District 26's as they started their fiscal year with a car wash, meeting, and a banger breakfast! Members arrived at Post 105 to a fundraiser car wash for the USMC 23d Regiment. Regiment members & their families did a superb job of caring for the cars while D26 met. Later, all D26 members headed to the Post Hall to enjoy a special SOS Breakfast prepared by 2nd Vice Commander Leo and his wife Carol (U105 Co-Chaplain). The Italian sausage gravy, toast & eggs hit the spot.

Pictured seated are D26's (L-R): Chaplain Janice (President, U238 Pacifica), 2nd VP Marci (President, U585 San Carlos), Peggy (President, D26 & U105 Redwood City), Bonnie (1st VP, D26 & U585 San Carlos), Cindy (D26 Treasurer & U105 Secretary), Arlene (VA&R Deputy), and Susan (Secretary & U474 1st VP).
