ANOTHER SCAM ALERT!
Veterans are reporting that they are receiving calls from people claiming to be from the VA Pharmacy. The callers are telling Veterans that the billing procedure for prescriptions has changed, and that the Veteran needs to provide his/her credit card number for prescription payment before Pharmacy will fill their medication requests.
All billing for any VA treatment and/or prescriptions is done through the MCCR Section of the VA. If the Veteran wishes to pay his/her account by credit card, the Veteran must provide the credit card number to our Agent Cashier. Our Agent Cashier is the only VA employee authorized to accept credit card payments.
Car Wash to support the 1185th DDSB Army Reserve Family Readiness Group
This unit’s Family Readiness Group will be having a car wash in Millersville at Lebzelter’s on Manor Ave. Sep. 7th from 9am till…? Proceeds from this event will help to support activities for the families left behind while they are serving far from home.
The 1185th DDSB is one of the units under consideration to be “adopted” by the Post, but even if we pick another, this is still a great opportunity to support our comrades. If you can’t help wash the cars, come out and have your car washed!

If you receive a call or an email from someone asking for help, don’t feel bad if you want to check out their story before offering aide – you can call the Post Office (or even the Post Commander Carson Kauffman) to check out anyone’s story. If he doesn’t know them off the top of his head, he will certainly be able to find out about them! A real member will understand and will have the patience while you verify their story!
