North Port #948. Its detachment has met since 1970 — North Port, 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 — North Port. The members would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
Meetings are 4th Tuesday, 7:00 PM, at the hall — North Port. This page is a sample so neighbors can see the shape of the work. The group itself has not claimed the page, so the stories here are an illustration, written in the voice the detachment might use.

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 Tuesday, 7:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — North Port, FL.
