  • All times are open on the Poppy Drive. We have two doors to man 8 hours each day. We will need 5 of us each hour (5th person is in case of any issues).
  • Poppy Drive help is needed not only in being there but in getting equipment there and back.
  • Remember that what goes home at 1600 has to be back at 0800 next morning (Money removed and Poppies replaced)
  • Dick Heckard has taken over as Post Poppy Chairman.
  • We would like to limit us to 4 hours at most a day per person.
