Post 7766 has two funds, Relief Fund and General Fund. The Relief Fund is for all the charity work we do and provides money for veterans in distress and other veterans causes that are voted on at the monthly meetings. The General Fund is used for post operations and is funded by membership dues and members' monthly 50/50 drawing. The two Funds are completely separate.
