Mass. Korony Color
Guard was fl awless as

body that will continue
to bring Post 620 in the
positive direction we
have been headed the

April 17, this amazing
event is put together every
year by some very
dedicated people who
work tirelessly year
round to get it done.
All the proceeds of
this event go directly
to packaging and shipping
care packages to
our troops overseas, I
can think of no better
cause, so come on out
and support the troops.
That is all for now.
We are stronger as
one, let’s work together.
God bless America.

Committee reports
on Mid-Winter Conference,
Albany 2020 this
coming meeting.
Until next time: One
last comment. Someone
asked about our post
building who is not a
reader of this fi ne publication,
believe it or not.
Again, the post building
was sold to a real estate
company over ten years
ago. We did not sell it to
the current occupants.
And fi nally...
“To consecrate and
sanctify our comradeship
by our devotion to
mutual helpfulness.”
