American Legion Legacy Run
Leo Carey Post 56 in Albert Lea is happy
to announce that they will be host to the Legion Riders for the 2010 Legacy
Run on Tuesday August 24, 2010. This could be the first and only time
an event like this may happen in Minnesota so we hope you will consider
taking part and show your support.
All posts are welcome to participate by
attending the evening event starting about 5:00 p.m. with a meal and
music by the community band and organizations and posts presenting the
national commander with a donation for the Legacy Scholarship. We
invite all to attend and have a good time visiting and sharing and then
making a donation to the scholarship. Part of the fun will be visiting
and looking at cycles that people will be riding to their destination of
Milwaukee for the national convention.
The group will be staying over night
which you may want to do also as Post 56 will be serving them breakfast
starting at 5:45 a.m. as they will be departing Albert Lea at 8:00 a.m.
During breakfast there will be additional donations to the Legacy
Scholarship.
If you have interest in helping other
ways it could be riding with them but that will require registering with
them as well. Best way to check out information is to check the Legion
web site and click on Legacy Run.
