Yolo County #627. Its detachment has met since 1970 — Woodland, 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 — Woodland. 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 Saturday, 9:00 AM. 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 — Woodland, CA.

Showing up for the Memorial Day wreath — Woodland
By spring the hall had the Memorial Day wreath underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Detachment 627 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 — Woodland.

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 Saturday, 9:00 AM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — Woodland, CA.
