Canteen open to public
Bingo funds our charitable giving while our Canteen keeps our lights on. Our canteen is open to the public, and is open Wednesday to Saturday from 6:00pm to 2:00am. With a $400 increase in monthly insurance costs, the upkeep on “The Old Green Alamo”, our Post home, is getting more difficult. If you are interested in pool or darts, these activities are available and leagues play once a week.
Monday August 5, 2024 will be our next San Antonio Food Bank distribution in the Post parking lot. If you know someone having difficulty affording groceries, please make them aware of this program. The line starts around 7:00am and distribution starts at 9:00am. Volunteers can show up at 8:00am to help.
