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,
