We want to thank all our members and their families who attended last Saturday's Local 458M Family Holiday Meeting.
Everyone in attendance loved this event and the kids were so happy to see Santa before he gets too busy!
Our members were very generous in donating to our 'Gifts for the Yanks!' The Lafayette Lindberry Post #159 collected a total of $350.00 on Saturday!
Adam Rodriguez was the member who would have won the $1,500 membership lottery, but because he was not in attendance he missed his opportunity to collect.

Hopefully, next time more members and families will come out.
We wish all our members a very happy and safe holiday season!
