Southlake Oktoberfest: A Celebration of Community and Service

Our Southlake Oktoberfest was a hit! We participated in the public event, made some connections, shared our story, and sold Gun & Car raffle tickets.

And we inducted a few new members at the event. Thank you to all the men who worked the booth and represented Post 14. The two of you showed us what it truly means to serve and take care of your neighbor.

We need more helping hands. Don’t let the work fall on the shoulders of a few; even if you can only give up two hours once a month, it’s more than enough to make a difference in helping our veterans and community.
