Join us for a special evening of holiday cheer at our Annual Post Christmas Dinner on Friday, December 19, 2025 at American Legion Rex Ish Post 88.

Bar Opens: 5:00 PM
Dinner Served: 6:00 PM

This event is replacing our regularly scheduled Hamburger Night for the evening. Please note: Hamburger Night is cancelled on December 19 to make way for this annual celebration.

All members, families, and invited guests are welcome to attend. Come enjoy a warm meal, good company, and a chance to celebrate the season together.

We look forward to seeing you there!

As we enter the holiday season, American Legion Rex Ish Post 88 is proud to honor our commitment to serving the Turlock community – not just in uniform, but in everyday acts of support and compassion.

This December, our Post made donations to several local organizations that are on the front lines helping those in need:

• Turlock Salvation Army
• We Care Program
• Turlock Gospel Mission
• United Samaritans Foundation
• Westside Ministries

Pictured: Commander Carl Lasiter presenting donation checks to representatives from each organization on behalf of Post 88.

We believe that true service extends beyond the battlefield – it lives in how we care for our neighbors. Thank you to our members, volunteers, and partners who make this outreach possible.

Happy Holidays from all of us at American Legion Post 88.
