Post 129 is proud to announce our November 2026 Member of the Month is Kate Waddell!!
Kate is one of those special individuals whose dedication, generosity, and willingness to help make an incredible difference at Post 129. Her contributions touch nearly every aspect of our daily operations, and much of what she does happens quietly behind the scenes. As our Food & Volunteer Coordinator, Kate organizes & purchases the food and supplies needed for our daily canteen meals, coordinates the volunteer cooks & servers who prepare and serve those meals, and ensures our members have great food to enjoy! And if that weren’t enough, Kate regularly rolls up her sleeves and volunteers to cook and serve several shifts each month herself! Beyond the kitchen, Kate also serves as co-chair of our Thursday Bingo Night! This is another significant commitment of her time and energy, and yet another example of her dedication to making Post 129 a place our members enjoy.
Kate is here nearly every day, always lending a hand, helping things run smoothly, and doing whatever it takes to make our Post better. Kate, your hard work, selflessness, and unwavering commitment do not go unnoticed. We are incredibly fortunate to have you as part of the Post 129 family. People like Kate are the heart of our Post, and we couldn’t do what we do without her.
The next time you see Kate, please join me in congratulating Kate and thanking her for her outstanding support of our Post and Veterans! My Commander's salute to Kate for outstanding leadership, service, and dedication to supporting our Post. I will present Kate with a certificate of appreciation and the member appreciation coin at our next PEC Meeting on November 3 (or our December General Membership meeting. In addition, Kate will have a dedicated parking space for November out in front of the Post.
Congratulations, Kate, on being our November Member of the Month! Very well deserved!
