Francis Scott Key Post No. 11
Official Bulletin Vol. XXXX No.10
APRIL — 2023
Francis Scott Key Post 11’s success depends entirely on active membership, participation and volunteerism.
COMMANDER’S ROLL CALL BY OTIS SMITH
Spring is here!!! Warmer weather is our new friend. Mother Nature is bringing back all the
blooms, blossoms and green. Summer is on the horizon, so put your winter items away and
get ready for a wonderful fun filled summer ahead.
I want to thank the numerous volunteers that help around our Post to make all our events so
successful. Post 11 wouldn’t be able to accomplish as much as we do without these wonderful people who
give so generously of their time and talents.
Our Post is always busy and April is no exception. We will be having our Annual Children’s Easter Party
on April 1st. The Auxiliary does a great job hosting the Children’s parties. This is always a fun day for the
children.
Remember that the Legion will be CLOSED on Easter Sunday. Hope this gives our staff and members time
to enjoy a wonderful day with their families.
Scholarship applications are due to the admin office by April 15, 2023.
On April 20th, we will be having our Annual Lebanon/Grenada, Panama, Persian Gulf, War on Terror and
other conflicts era dinner. The dinner will be from 6:00-8:00 PM. Please be sure to get your reservations in
to our administrative office if you plan to attend.
We had an amazing turnout for our Vietnam era dinner that was held on March 30 th. This is always a won-
derful time for our Veterans to get together.
At the Post meeting held in March, it was approved to replace the carpeting and flooring at the back en-
trance in the lounge. Help will be needed clearing out the lounge of tables and chairs once the items are
ready to be installed. We hope to keep the disruption to the lounge business to a minimum.
We will be asking for nominations for Post officers at the May Post meeting, so if you are interested in any
position please let Adjutant Joe Rizzo know.
Convention time in Ocean City will soon be here. We look forward to another year of learning, sharing, and
enjoying the friendships we have made with other Posts during convention.
C Attention 26 Club Members
L Due to scheduling conflicts with the Chef and the availability of the Banquet
Hall, we will hold our next dinner and drawing on Sunday, July 16. Sign up
U
forms will be available a few weeks prior. Thank you for your understanding.

Auxiliary News By Cindy Shriner, President
Greetings American Legion Auxiliary and Legion Family,
Welcome “Spring” as we move forward with all our hard work for Veterans, our
communities, our military, and their families. As always, we continue to serve our
Legion Family and our Veterans, Military, their Families, our Communities and Children & Youth.
Please remember and pray for our active military in harm’s way that they return to us safely.
Now that the time has changed, and we have more daylight hours what better way than to spend them with our Veter-
ans and families. Visit a Veteran to lift their spirits now that the weather outside is delightful. Treat them to a lunch,
or visit them and sit on the porch and talk. What better way to make them feel needed and wanted. After the cold
and damp weather this would surely make a difference to them.
Upcoming events and dates to put on your calendar are listed below for April.
• April 1, 2023 – April FOOLS Day
• April 1, 2023 – Children’s Easter Party Noon – 2:00 pm
• April 2, 2023 – Palm Sunday
• April 7, 2023 – Good Friday
• April 9, 2023 – Easter Sunday
• April 18, 2023 – ALA Unit # 11 Meeting 7:00 pm
Reminder April is Children and Youth Month.
Do something nice for our youth as they are our up and coming future. We need to embrace them and teach them
values so they become model citizens and leaders.
We are always looking for any new ideas and projects for the Unit to support our Veterans, our Military, their fami-
lies, our community and our children and youth. You can attend a meeting to share your ideas or email your ideas to
info@fskunit11.org. We are also looking for volunteers to help with the Post Bingo on Wednesday evening and Sun-
day Bingo on the first Sunday of the month. If you prefer you can help on one of our many programs and projects by
chairing the committee or co-chairing. Please let us know if you would like to help in this way.
We are diligently collecting MEMBERSHIP gems for the new year. Dues are $30.00 and $7.00 for Junior members
(17 & younger). You can renew FOUR ways.
1. Stop at the Legion and pay your dues at the office or drop them at the bar.
2. Mail your dues (check payable to FSK Unit 11) to the Post home at 1450 Taney Avenue, Frederick, MD
21702
3. Renew online at Legion-aux.org
4. Calling National Auxiliary Organization Monday thru Friday 8:00 am – 4:30 pm EST at 317-569-4570 to pay
over the phone.
You must have your membership ID available if you pay online or over the phone.
If you pay your 2023 dues now that will ensure you are a member in good standing. Let’s make our goal of 100%
early. We currently need 121 members to reach our goal for 2023. If you have not paid your 2023 dues please try
to pay before the end of April 2023.
Your membership is very important and matters greatly to us and our organization.
Our unit meetings are the third Tuesday of every month at 7:00 pm and we look forward to our members attending to
see and or learn what we do and the great work we have done. If you cannot attend in person you can join via
ZOOM. Watch your email for the invite from info@fskunit11.org.
If you have a friend or relative who is not a member and is eligible, give them an application to join. Maybe pay their
dues for the first year and let them experience what this great organization does.
Yours in service

S.A.L. News by Jeffrey Seiler, Commander
We would like to thank all the cooks of Francis Scott Key Post 11 family that participated in our annu-
al Chili Cook-off. Fun was had by all. I think everyone enjoyed all the different chili’s and the fun
names of the chili’s. Again, congratulations to all the winners who now have bragging rights. Thank
you.
Dues, what can I say? If you have not paid your dues, they are now overdue. We have approximately 67 members
that have not paid their dues yet. Wayne Fox is doing a tremendous job collecting dues and getting our members
their cards. The Sons of The American Legion membership calendar year is from July 1st, 2022, to June 30th, 2023.
The dues are $35.00 per member and $15.00 for junior members. If you have NOT PAID your dues this is a remind-
er that your dues are now PAST DUE. Please stop by the post and PAY YOUR MEMBERSHIP DUES. Thank
you.
We are doing a cruise to Bermuda on June 25 th – July 2nd. Bon Voyage. Full steam ahead. It is upon the Celebrity
Summit, and it is leaving out of Cape Liberty New Jersey. We are providing transportation to and from Cape Liberty
back to the Legion. This is a 7-night cruise. Please contact Jeff Seiler if you are interested in going. Thank you to all
the members that attended the meeting in March regarding the cruise. Jayne Bongard is doing a fantastic job coordinat-
ing it. Thank you, Jayne!
Also, we will be looking to book a fishing trip for Rockfish soon.
When traveling this Easter, please take some time to reflect on the real meaning of Easter. Think of our military and
their families and the men and women that are in harm’s way. Say a personal and special prayer for all our men and
women who are serving and those who have served and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
With Spring in the air, if you have some extra time or want to volunteer, the Post has some activities that they could
use some help with. Please contact Patricia Swiderski at the office for any information.
The Sons of The American Legion continue to support the children and youth programs. Squadron 11 offers a scholar-
ship and applications are available behind the bar. I would like to provide the following information for the George
Grossnickel Memorial scholarship offered by the Detachment of Maryland. The application can be found at
MDSAL.org/scholarship and needs to be submitted by May 1, 2023.
In accordance with its Americanism Program, the Detachment of Maryland Sons of The American, has established four
$2,000.00 Memorial Scholarship Grants to assist youth in furthering their education beyond high school.

A citizen of the United States of America who appreciates the value of education and is willing to work hard to
achieve success; and
A graduating senior or a high school graduate, by the prescribed application submittal date, who plans to attend
an accredited college, university or trade school on a full-time basis; or

newal)

BE THE ONE!

Legion Riders By Tim Smith, Director
Happy Spring! I hope we have fully adjusted to our daylight savings change. With Spring
comes more and more motorcycles on the road, and my annual reminder to please look twice
for motorcycles. Even though we have lights and other signaling devices, we sometimes can be
hard to spot. Please look twice, save a life. I want to thank the SAL for a wonderful chili cookoff. These
events are a bonus to our Post and are great fun to attend. Our Post hosted the semi-annual State Riders
Meeting in March and many great ideas came from this. I will be sharing these and our own Rider’s activi-
ties and fundraising soon. April marks the 15th anniversary of our Chapter of the Legion Riders and I am
grateful for the support we have received from the Legion family over the years. We are working out the de-
tails of a cooler and meat raffle, so look for details on this soon. We hope to have a few more fundraisers
forthcoming and we so appreciate our legion families’ participation. Until I see you again at our Post…do
you know which of the following celebrities has founded his own brand of motorcycle? Keanu Reeves, Mi-
chael Jordan, or Kanye West...Keanu Reeves, wonder if it has as much “firepower” as his John Wick movies.
If you would like to become a member, or supporting member, please attend our meetings. You can also con-
tact our Membership Chairman (Jami Clevenger) at jamiclevenger@outlook.com or go to our website. Mem-
bership is free, but you must be a Legionnaire, Auxiliary, or SAL member with dues paid up to date. You do
not need to own a motorcycle to become a supporting member. We meet on the 1st Thursday of every month
at 7:00 pm sharp in the meeting bay. You must renew your membership annually to stay an active member
and continue to receive emails. For all members, please contact our Membership Chairman with any changes
to your contact status to continue receiving up to date information.
Please visit our website WWW.ALRFSKPOST11.ORG for all scheduled rides, events, applications, etc., and
more information on the American Legion Riders. Please also check out our Face Book page, The American
Legion Riders of FSK Post 11, and give us a like. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at
