Francis Scott Key Post No. 11
Official Bulletin Vol. XXXIX No.6
DECEMBER — 2021
Masks not required if you have been vaccinated
Francis Scott Key Post 11’s success depends entirely on active membership, participation and volunteerism.
COMMANDER’S ROLL CALL
December 7th, 2021 is another day that is memorialized by paying tribute to Service Mem-
bers of the Armed Forces. The Veteran's Day service held at Memorial Park was very nice
and well attended as it was a beautiful day. Thank you service members and your families for
your service to the country. Thanks to all American Legion Post 11 Retired and Active ser-
vice members and their families for their service to the country and the Frederick community.
Legionnaires, SAL, Auxiliary and Rider members are doing some amazing things representing Post 11 and
the Community. It takes strong leadership, commitment, membership and those willing to volunteer their
time to provide these services to our community. American Legion Post 11 has more than 1500 members
and currently just over a thousand have renewed their annual membership. If you have renewed your annual
membership, thank you. If you have not, why not? It is as easy as stopping by Post 11 and the office staff
will square you away. You may also renew your membership online. If financially, it is not a good time to
renew, contact the office staff and we may be able to assist.
As I mentioned last month, we are quickly into the season, you know, "The Most Wonderful Time of the
Year." We will be decorating the lounge to make it fitting for the season. We can always use some help do-
ing so, along with fresh new ideas. Christmas is in the air and a time for giving and often the simple act of
giving time goes a long way.
In closing, there will be parties and celebrations all throughout the season. I ask that we all please, please
remain vigilant in our efforts to combat the ongoing pandemic. Wear a mask, social distance to your comfort
level and wash your hands frequently.
I would be remiss in my duties as Commander if I failed to mention the annual competition that will take
place on the gridiron, December 11, 2021. All are welcome to come to the Post and cheer for your favorite
team. GO ARMY - BEAT NAVY!!!

Congratulations to all the winners of the Cash Blast for our Detachment Commander Mark Fayer. We were able to
contribute $2,500.00 to his Commander’s project which is Casey Cares.
Thank you to all of you that made contributions to Charlotte Hall. This was a true family effort. The VFW, VFW

The Holidays are upon us, and I cannot believe how quickly the year is passing. I hope all had a won-
derful and safe thanksgiving and that you will be safe during your Holiday gatherings. The Riders
participated in our Veteran’s Day ceremony by providing the color guard. It was a beautiful day and
we had a great turnout. It was nice to ride the motorcycles to the ceremony. The Post and its officers
did a wonderful job with the program. We have pictures up on the various FB pages. Our joint SAL/
Aux/Riders Christmas get together will be December 16 th at 5:30 pm. Details will be up by the time you are reading
this, we hope to have a great turnout. Those that are still riding this time of year, please be safe and enjoy.

Auxiliary News By Deb Cline, President
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends. With the Holidays fast ap-
proaching we all need to remember those in need and those that are alone over the holiday
season. May it be with giving to Toy’s for Tots, Food Banks, or just a short visit to a neighbor
that is alone. This could make a big difference for someone.
As always if you have any ideas for our Unit please contact me or a Unit Officer. If you have anytime you
can help with our Bingo’s on Wednesday evening or the first Sunday of the month, please come by. We
need volunteers for these great fundraisers to support our Post. Please remember to document everything
you volunteer to do for others. This could be for schools, church, neighbor, etc.
We will not be having a regular meeting in December. We will be having a joint Christmas Party with the
Sons of the American Legion, and American Legion Riders. Please look for signup sheet in our lounge or
call the office to let us know if you are coming. We look forward to seeing many of our Legion Family and
having a great time for all.
I would like to thank everyone that helped make our Veteran’s Day Service a great success. It was well at-
tended by the community. With always thinking of our Veteran’s don’t forget our lost ones by supporting
“Wreaths Across America”. See information on page 7 of this newsletter to help with this great cause.
A few reminders to everyone we have containers in lobby to the Post lounge for the Frederick Food Bank
and clothes for the Homeless Shelter. Also, our National Security Chairman Norma Smith collects manufac-
tures coupons to send to our troops overseas. She works in the Office of the Post part time and would be
grateful for extra ones you may have. Our Juniors are collecting for “Casey Cares Foundation” and “Our
Military Kids Foundation”. See page 6 for more information on our Juniors.
Auxiliary Department of Maryland membership theme for this year is “LEAVE NO VETERAN BE-
HIND”. So, this brings us to Membership, and you should have your annual renewal notice from National
for 2022. Please don’t wait for it come just pay them as soon as you can! The way our postal service has
been you may not receive yours. Your membership matters! Dues are $30.00 and $7.00 for junior mem-
bers (17 and younger). You can renew FOUR ways – 1) Stop at the legion and pay dues at the office or drop

American Legion Oratorical Contest
Do you know a high school student who is interested in Government and the Constitution?
Scholarships are available at the Post, County, District, State, and National levels through the American Le-
gion Oratorical Contest.
About the Oratorical Contest “A constitutional speech contest”
The American Legion Oratorical Contest exists to develop deeper knowledge and appreciation for the U.S.
Constitution among high school students. Since 1938, the program has presented participants with an aca-
demic speaking challenge that teaches important leadership qualities, the history of our nation’s laws, the
ability to think and speak clearly, and an understanding of the duties, responsibilities, rights, and privileges
of American citizenship. The program has featured numerous politicians and prominent contestants over the
years, including former president candidate Alan Keyes and CNN anchor Lou Dobbs.
Young orators earn some of the most generous college scholarships available to high school students. Over
$138,000 in scholarships can be awarded each year. The overall national contest winner gets an $25,000
scholarship. Second place takes home $22,500, and third gets $20,000. Each department (state) winner who
is certified into and participates in the national contest’s first round receives a $2,000 scholarship. Those
who advance past the first round receive an additional $2,000 scholarship. The American Legion’s National
Organization awards the scholarships, which can be used at any college or university in the United States.
High school students (all grades) under age 20 are eligible. Competition begins at the post level and advanc-
es to a state competition. Legion department representatives certify one winner per state to the national
contest, where department winners compete against each other in two speaking rounds. The contest caps
off with a final round that decides the three top finishers.
Speaking subjects must be on some aspect of the U.S. Constitution, with some emphasis on the duties and
obligations of citizens to our government and speeches are eight to ten minutes long; three- to five-minute
speeches on an assigned topic also are part of the contest.
FSK Post 11 will hold its contest on January 29, 2022, at 10am. Prizes will be 1stplace $500, 2nd place $300,
3rd place and beyond $100. Winner will advance to District competition in February. State Competitions will
follow in March.
