San Fernando Valley #1277. Its detachment has met since 1968 — San Fernando, CA. The charter came in the years after the Second World War and Korea, and the members who stayed treated the monthly meeting as a standing promise: show up, look after one another, and leave the town a little better.
People point to the detachment for the Memorial Day observance and for the quieter help that never makes a program — San Fernando. The members would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
The regular meeting is 3rd Thursday, 7:00 PM. Anyone planning to visit should confirm the night before they come, because a funeral detail or a weather delay can move it. Between meetings the members stay in touch the old way: at the hall, and through the officers listed on this sample site — San Fernando, CA.

Showing up for the winter gift drive — San Fernando

What the notebook says so far
Late summer the detachment looked back at the notebook. The honor detail had been out more than once, the community table had fed a crowded room, and the officers reminded everyone that the next business meeting is 3rd Thursday, 7:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — San Fernando, CA.
