In December, the Wreaths Across America representatives held a ceremony at St. Patrick’s Cemetery to honor and remember veterans by placing Christmas wreaths on all veteran headstones. Post 130’s color guard presented the colors and our honor guard shot three volleys and played Taps. All branches of the military were represented in a special wreath presentation in a display of gratitude. The ceremony was well attended by the community.
On December 16th, Post 130 held a dance, hosted again by Pete Vasilakos. The dance was attended by over 100 people with the Robby James and the Streets of Bakersfield keeping dancers moving. Thanks again to Pete for his efforts!
March 5th, we will have a dinner in honor of the Boy and Girl Scouts. The Girl Scouts will entertain by performing songs. They will also be selling their cookies for their troop. On March 23 from noon to 3:00pm, we will host the Scout Bowling; about 60- 70 are expected.
