From VFW Post 392 Canteen Manager Shelly Hughes:
VFW Post Members,
Good Day! I wanted to address a few issues we are having with regard to our access control system door locks, electronic key fobs, and their usage. The purpose of the newer system of door locks and key fobs is to protect our members and our employees from unnecessary risks. The system only works if we as a group use it appropriately. Having said that please follow the procedures listed below:
1. Please bring your fob with you when visiting the Post. This saves the bartenders from having to confirm your membership and authorization to use the facility. If guests accompany you, they must be signed in immediately upon arrival.
2. Opening the door(s) and allowing access to our Post is the responsibility of the bartender on duty. Please don't open the door for anyone that doesn't have their fob. Again, this is the responsibility of the bartender on duty.
3. Never allow access to the Post to anyone that you don't personally know. We need to know their reason for wanting access and review photo identification for all individuals that are not known members.
4. Never, under any circumstances, should any exterior access door be propped open without the express permission of the Quartermaster, Canteen Manager, or bartender on duty, and then only for long enough to move deliveries or equipment through the door. Exterior doors will not be left open if unattended.
Violations of this policy will be reported to the House Committee Chairperson for action.
If you need a replacement fob or haven't picked up your fob from the Post, please see the bartender on duty or Quartermaster John Phillips.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Shelly Hughes

VFW POST 392 NIGHT WITH THE
NORFOLK ADMIRALS AND POW/MIA TABLE DEDICATION Friday, October 24th, 1900 
Senior Vice Commander Steve Wilkins has worked with the Norfolk Admirals to set up and dedicate a POW/MIA table at the Opening Night game on Friday, October 24th. We will dedicate the table before the game on the ice, allowing us to take pictures and other items. The table will then be moved to its permanent location in the scope. This has been a long time coming and a very big deal for not only the Admirals, but for our Vets and VFW 392, but for the VFW as a whole. The game is slated to be a sellout, so I was able to reserve 30 seats that are all together. If you scan the QR code on the flyer below, or click here, you can buy your tickets. They will be sent directly to your phone, allowing you to sit with the group. Ticket prices have increased somewhat this year, but $5 of every ticket we buy of those 30 will go back to our Post. it is going to be a great night for all, having something that we have dedicated to our military comrades, that will stand for a very long time. There will be a plaque that says that VFW 392 dedicated the table hung over the table as well. Commander Kevin Hebert, Sr Vice Commander Steve Wilkins, and other Post Officers will perform the ceremony to dedicate the table before the game. This is one event that you don't want to miss out on.

Per District 2 Commander Troy Wagers, "If anyone would like to lay a wreath while there, please let him know so he can arrange it. This is a great way to show Unity in the VFW and District 2. It would be great for us to lay down 10 Wreaths, one from each Post in District 2. Our District 1 Posts are also invited to attend. This will be an exciting time."
