Fall Conference is Friday, Sept 29th – Sunday, Sept 30th. If you are interested in going to the workshops on Saturday, let me know.<\/p>\n

Our next meeting will be Monday, Sept 10th at 7:00pm. Have an idea you would like to see happen at our Post? Come to the meeting and tell us about it.<\/p>\n

The Auxiliary is still collecting dimes for the Auxiliary Emergency Fund. The fund was started to help Auxiliary members who might be faced with a financial issue. If you have some extra dimes weighing your pockets down, there is a bottle at the bar for any dimes to donate them. Thank you.<\/p>\n

Our video bowling league will start on Sunday, Sept 23rd. It’s a 2 person team. Cost is $5.00 per bowling score sheet and $2.50 in the machine. The cost for the score sheet is prize money given at the end of the league. A part of the money in the machine benefits our Legion. Get a partner, practice, have some fun and support our Legion.<\/p>\n

Have a great month of September and hope to see you at the Legion.<\/p>\n
