In response to member feedback, Post 44 recently made a small but meaningful change to the bar area’s table layout. For years, the high-top near the back corner of the room – informally known as “Table 1” – developed a reputation among some members as a bit of a clique. While those who sat there weren’t intentionally unwelcoming, they simply enjoyed each other’s longtime company. That perception continued to exist.
To address this, 2nd Vice Commander Mike Moore took proactive action. He removed the “Table 1” designation, replaced several high tables with lower ones to make the space feel more accessible, and asked the longtime Table 1 regulars to relocate to the alcove area.
The group embraced the change with good humor, even christening their new spot as “Table Zero,” as seen in the photo. The adjustment was made to ensure all members feel comfortable, included, and welcome in the Post 44 social spaces.
Thank you for your support – and for helping make Post 44 the “best damn Post in the West!”
