The meetings of Silver/Holiday V.F.W. Post 10185 will be held on the first Thursday of each month at 1:00 PM in the Clubhouse at 145 Westbrook Drive, Silver Ridge Park West. We meet in the daytime, so you do not have to drive at night. To join our post, just bring a copy of your Discharge (DD-214) to our meeting and you'll receive a hardy welcome and refreshments before the meeting. If you need a ride to the meeting or want more information without any obligation call Past Post Commander James Egan at 732-341-4905, or one of the other Officers, and we will gladly pick you up and take you back home after the meeting.
Remember if you hear of any Post member passing away or being in the hospital, call any officer and let him know.
