Mardi Gras Re-cap

Huge thanks to everyone who came out and participated in our Mardi Gras-themed February social! Comrade Hamilton, a New Orleans native, was our DJ and Chef Kay cooked up some tasty gumbo and King Cake. Those who received the “baby” in the cake — which symbolizes luck and prosperity — went home with a prize. Let the good times roll!

Flag recycling event March 25

We’re hosting our first ever flag recycling event on the 25th at 2 p.m. at the post. We’ve collected more than 300 discarded flags. We used to dispose of the flags by burning them but neighbors complained and we agreed: this is not an environmentally friendly solution. We did our research and discovered that discarded flags can be properly disposed of by shredding and recycling the fabric, which is a win-win! If you have a pair of fabric shears and would like to help shred, please join us! Also feel free to drop off your unserviceable flags.

Post re-branding update

While we’ve been working on updating the inside and outside of our post home, we’ve also been updating our digital presence. Our membership approved the new post logo at our February business meeting, which is now featured on our website and Facebook page. (We’ll start having swag made with the new logo too.) You’ll see that our website look was updated to reflect our new branding, along with this newsletter. Based on feedback from new members, we also created an Instagram account. Be sure to follow, like, share and engage with our social media accounts!
