A "Tip of the Hat" for Jim Fidler
Active member since 1998

Jim has been at the Post just about every day. And he's not there just to socialize. Jim has been spotted in the Kitchen on many occasions, sometimes very early in the day. He says he just likes to "piddle around" in there, but the truth be known he is working hard toward making and evening meal go the right way. Whether it is the Tuesday night Spaghetti Dinner or the Friday night Seafood Dinner, he's been right there. Everything is always very good, but he cooks just about the best fish around. On other occasions you might find Jim hanging decorations, fixing some maintenance-type problem, painting or running errands. And he's always one of the first to volunteer help for any special event that might come up. But, sometimes you can find him just enjoying the fine social atmosphere of our Canteen - after all, that's what it's for!

Barbara has been a member of
the Ladies Auxiliary since 1987.

During the 1993 - 1994 year her husband (Jim - now deceased) was our Post Commander, she was President of the Ladies Auxiliary and Kitchen Manager. In those positions, Barbara organized, decorated and catered several special events at the Post. Most recently she became a member of the Posts' newly formed Chapter of the Red Hat Society. You can find Barbara at our Post virtually every day. Her volunteer efforts are geared mostly toward the Kitchen. She has cooked everything but breakfast (by her own admission she only cooks scrambled eggs) and prepped for every meal. She sets up tables and serves customers, some of which come back to see her time-after-time. Barbara can consistently be counted on to help out, even when she is called at the last minute. In our hurried environment our faithful volunteers often go un-noticed and without recognition. Our Post is very proud to select Barbara as the newest Volunteer Spotlight. A well deserved "tip-of-the-hat" goes to Barbara Kite.
