“The VFW is coming along. Habitat for Humanity from Westchester just donated all the insulation and sheetrock we need to start to rebuild the Hall. Little by little we are working together to get it complete. We would like to tell everyone that we are always thinking of you all.
After all that we have been through, and are still going through, may there be a light at the end of everyone’s tunnel. The Ladies Auxiliary wishes to extend a heartfelt hug to each and every one.
On May 26th the VFW will be hosting the Memorial Day parade. The parade will start at 1:30 p.m. All participants will meet at Rock N Roll Bagel at 12:30 p.m. to line up. If anyone wishes to march, please leave a message at the Post. The phone number is 718-634- 5106.
We would gladly appreciate anyone or group who would like to participate. This year we will have Joe Addabbo, Eric Ulrich, Lew Simon and Phil Goldfeder marching with us. Our honorees will be the veterans from St. Albans Hospital, the VFW and the American Legion. Also marching will be the Broad Channel Boys Scouts and Girl Scouts.
Afterwards please join us at the VFW Post for some hot dogs and beverages with our veterans.
Remember it’s Memorial Day. Let’s come outside and greet and thank our men and women who have served us.
During the next two weeks our members from the Post will be out having our Poppy Drive on Cross Bay Boulevard in Broad Channel. The funds raised provide so many activities, like Bingo, BBQs, dinners, Christmas parties and more for the entire year for our disabled and hospitalized veterans. ALL donations are used solely to support them. Thank you.

We will have raffles, a 50/50, cotton candy, hot dogs, and refreshments. Proceeds go to rebuild our VFW Post 260. Reservations for tables are required. Please leave a message at 646-344-2640.
