Post 129 Members—Let’s Show Up Strong for the Wounded Warrior Project Soldier Ride!

On Friday, September 25, Post 129 will have the honor of hosting a group of veteran riders participating in the Wounded Warrior Project Soldier Ride. Some of these veterans have been injured during their service and will be completing the ride on adaptive bicycles.

The riders will arrive at approximately 8:30 AM for breakfast and fellowship before beginning their ride at 9:45 AM. We would love to have our members here to welcome them, spend some time with them and give them an enthusiastic send-off.

They are expected to return around 11:30 AM, and we need everyone back at the Post to cheer them across the finish and celebrate their accomplishment!

The riders will then have lunch before departing around 12:30 PM.

Let’s fill the Post with encouragement and show these veterans the warmth, gratitude and support of the Post 129 family. Even if you can only join us for part of the morning, your presence will mean a great deal.

📅 Friday, September 25

🍳 Riders arrive for breakfast: 8:30 AM

🚴 Ride begins: 9:45 AM

🎉 Welcome them back: 11:30 AM

Riders depart: Approximately 12:30 PM

🍎 Help the Auxiliary Grow Its Apple Tree!

From September 1 through October 3, Ocean Beaches Auxiliary Unit 129 will be raising money to help pay outstanding lunch balances for children at Mayport Elementary—a school that serves many local military families.

When a child has an unpaid lunch balance, they may receive an alternate cold lunch instead of a hot meal. With each school lunch costing $4.10, even a small donation can make a meaningful difference.

To participate, purchase a $5, $10, $25, or $50 apple from the bartender. Write your name or a special message on it, then add it to our tree and help us watch it grow!

Every gift helps provide a child with a hot meal so they can concentrate, learn, and do their best. Please help us support our community—one apple at a time!

🤝 Join the Post 129 Helping Hands Team

One of the greatest strengths of Post 129 has always been neighbors helping neighbors.

We're creating a Helping Hands email list of members who are willing to lend a hand when another member, veteran, or their family needs a little extra support.

Needs may include rides to medical appointments, delivering a meal, running errands, friendly visits, or other simple acts of kindness.

There is no ongoing commitment and no obligation to help with every request. When a need arises, we'll send an email with the details, and you can volunteer if you're available.

If you'd like to be part of the Post 129 Helping Hands Team, simply click below to be taken to our website to sign up.

Together, we can continue the tradition of veterans serving veterans and ensure no member of our Post family faces life's challenges alone.

We have some great bands coming be sure to come on up and check them out.

We wanted to take a moment to share a small update to our Monday and Thursday drink specials. And a small adjustment to our Tuesdays BOGO special.

While our previous specials were a great deal, they weren’t quite bringing in the crowd we hoped for. Rather than let those nights go quiet, we decided to switch things up and try something new that we think will be more fun, more social, and a better reason to come out with friends.

Here’s what’s new and what's stayed the same:

Mondays - Bucket of Drinks Special

Enjoy 6 $3.50 drink chips for $18, good for imported beers or call drinks.

Tuesdays - BOGO

Enjoy BOGO drinks every Tuesday from 3 pm to 7pm! That's an extra hour to sip and save!

Wednesdays - Wine Down Wednesdays

We're bringing back one of your favorite midweek traditions! Beginning this Wednesday, July 15th, join us every Wednesday for Wine Down Wednesdays at Post 129.

For just $12, you'll enjoy:

🍷 A Flight of Three Featured Wines

🧀 A Small Charcuterie Plate

Whether you're winding down after work, meeting friends, or looking for a relaxing night out, Wine Flight Wednesdays are the perfect excuse to sip, snack, and unwind.

Thursdays - Bottled Beer Bucket Special

Grab 6 $3.00 drink chips for $15, good for domestic bottled beers.

(Drink chips will be used in place of physical buckets.)

Fridays - Free Drink with Dinner

Join us every Friday night for our delicious dinners—now including a drink from the bar with every meal! One low price gets you a hearty dinner and a drink. It’s a deal you don’t want to miss.

Sundays - Mimosa Flights

Join us on Sundays for $10 Mimosa Flights! 🍾🧡

These new specials are all about encouraging people to come together, share a round, and make a night of it.

We appreciate everyone’s continued support and feedback, and we hope you’ll come out and give the new specials a try!
