May Commander’s Notes
Greetings Comrades!
Due to not being able to get our new Stars and Stripes Board from our Vendor, we were able to get a Treasure Hunt Board. Rules and price of tickets the same. Prizes are different-except for the full pot winner, and there is no ½ pot winner.
The Officer’s Meeting will now be at 6:30 instead of 6:00 on the first Thursday before the post meeting.
Post 1108 will be hosting the 10th District Meeting on May 7th at 1:30.
After the Memorial Day Services on the 29th, join us at the post for a FREE Ham and Beans lunch.

Progressive Jackpot Update as of 4/30/23
So a lot has happen since the last webpage update. Our Stars and Stripes was won on April 5 for a winning on $20,828 before taxes. We were not able to get another Stars and Stripes Board, so a new game was brought called Treasure Hunt. On the 3rd Wednesday of this game (April 26th) the jackpot was hit by someone who had repurchased the ticket and was not present at the drawing. It made her winnings 1/2 of the jackpot which was 5,394.00 before taxes. At this time I have no information on any new games. I will post as soon as I find out anything.
To keep up with the latest on the Progressive Jackpot games check out our Veterans of Foreign Wars 1108 Facebook Page.
