Among those who were mustered into the order at this meeting were two Comrades from Modesto, C.C. Parks and A.C. Walsh and like Comrades Brewer and Pritchard at the institution of Lt Landsdale Post they were told to go back to Modesto and form their own Post, and like Brewer and Pritchard they obeyed orders. As Luneta Post can consider Enright Post their first born as Sacramento considers Luneta Post their first child. Another visitor was Samuel S Cohn of Jacob Smith Post # 83 of San Francisco. He

promised to transfer to Luneta Post. The meetings were set to be held the first and third Thursday of each month. Commander FA Will called on all members for a short talk. Commander W.H. Taylor of Sacramento during his speech called on Luneta Post to get busy and bring in the recruits. "Your 14 men are the first founding Charter Members to form their Post. This great honor you should cherish and respect. There are a lot more just waiting to be asked to join." He remarked that as Luneta Post had been lucky in getting a small number why not make it 52 members for Luneta Post. All members agreed and the charter was to be held open till the first of the year and we would get the recruits. Commander Will pledged his full support to get the 52 members for the charter. The meeting was closed and all members gathered around the banquet tables where more speeches were made.

On Aug 16-1917, Thursday our first regular meeting the Post having no colors, a motion was made that the Post raise funds to purchase a flag and banner. The motion carried. A collection was taken up and the following Comrades donated $1.00 each.
