Monthly Post and Auxiliary Membership Meeting 3rd Tuesday of the Month at 7pm at the administration building for the Post, and the Bingo Hall for the Auxiliary. See calendar for schedule of events.
 
We are starting the new administrative year with our new leadership. Visit the 'about' and 'officers' page to see who we are. Next meeting June 16th, 2026. 

 Our Day of Service is complete. Thank you to all our members and thank you to our local community of supporters that came out and helped. We had around 70 people show up on Saturday morning to help place the flags in both cemeteries. We knocked it out in about an hour this year. Amazing. Our Flag retirement went off without a hitch. Along with Scout Troop 147, we were able to respectfully retire around 50-60 flags. Our BBQ at the canteen was a huge success as well. Everyone was fed and most went up for seconds. A big thank you goes out to our Auxiliary for providing the deserts. Monday evening, we had around 50 volunteers show up to help us pick up all the flags and cleanup the cemeteries. With all that help, we completed the task in under an hour (just beating the rain). We are touched by the support from everyone. Hope this just gets better next year.

Commander's Corner

Commander Ryan Nowaczck

Welcome to VFW Post 7686 Commander's Corner. Thank you to everyone that supports our organization. I enjoy seeing those that come out and attend Bingo and support the Canteen with their many events. We are still looking for more of our members to come out and help us make this organization even better. New members equal new ideas. I encourage members of both the Post and the Auxiliary to attend their respective monthly meetings and get involved in your organization. There's always something to do and some project that needs attention. The support from our members is crucial to the survival of the post. Reach out to me personally via email if you'd like to speak to me about how you can get involved. Looking forward this year and all the things we can accomplish together.
