Membership Dinner Change
As you may be aware, we had to make a change for membership dinner compared to the past. We are being blessed by having our banquet room used almost every weekend. The board and Post approved a change this year to give each American Legion Family member a $6.00 credit toward any food purchase on any night at the legion. You will have until June 30, 2009 (end of membership year) to use this certificate which is in a letter you will receive in the mail in the near future. This benefit is for all current paid up members and if you wish just pay your dues when you come in to eat. Thursday night dinner is a good choice and you can come when you wish rather that when the date was picked. Please bring your letter (certificate) when you come. Thank you for you understanding and enjoy a new food venture at the Legion.
Dave Mullenbach Commander,
