Lehigh Valley #296. Its detachment has met since 1965 — Emmaus, PA. 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 — Emmaus. The members would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
The meeting line says 4th Wednesday, 7:30 PM, which is the rhythm the directory lists. Come for the business, stay for the people. The portraits and the posts here are sample material, standing in until the detachment writes its own — Emmaus, PA.

Notes from the first meeting
Lehigh Valley #296. The year opens the usual way: a short meeting, a full pot of coffee, and a list of local families the detachment already knows. The members voted to keep the winter gift drive on the calendar and to pass the word person to person — Emmaus, PA. - Apr 9, 2026
Showing up for the winter gift drive — Emmaus
By spring the hall had the winter gift drive underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Detachment 296 set a date, split the jobs, and showed up. A few neighbors who are not members came for the afternoon and stayed to ask about the next meeting — Emmaus. - Aug 21, 2026
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 4th Wednesday, 7:30 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — Emmaus, PA.
