- 2nd Tuesday, 7:00 PM
Everett P Pope #1017. Its detachment has met since 1971 — Fernandina Beach, FL. 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 — Fernandina Beach. The members would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
The regular meeting is 2nd Tuesday, 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 — Fernandina Beach, FL.

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 2nd Tuesday, 7:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — Fernandina Beach, FL.
