Post 14 Veterans Service Phone Line 406-548-4972
In an effort to be responsive to the needs of our membership, we now have a dedicated phone number for members to use if they are in need of some assistance or information from the Post. The Bar phone number will remain the same. Anyone who calls the Bar requesting assistance or Post 14 information will be given this new service phone number. Post 14 Trustee Gary Gullickson has volunteered to man the phone line 24/7 and refer all calls for assistance to the proper organizations and report each month on the calls received. Thank you, Gary, for taking on this important task.
Our next General Membership Meeting is Thursday, May 14, 2026 at 1800 hours in the Upstairs Meeting Room at Post 14.
Respectfully,
Frank Harriman
