Laura tells me that this years Poppy Drive brought in $11,800.00. Special thanks go out to Keith Andrews, Dave McLean and Lori Savage who spearhead the campaign and of course both our Cadet groups for their work in staffing the various stations.

On November 25th for the golfer’s appreciation night, we had a sellout crowd who were entertained by local band Saltwater Cowboys, and those cowboys really had the place rockin.
Another local band will take the stage on New Years Eve when we host Scarecrow (almost John Mellencamp). Tickets are on sale now so make sure you have one.
Peggy passes on the following message to all our members : On behalf of the executive and members , I would like to wish everyone a Merry
Christmas and a happy new year. We hope to see everyone at the President's levee on January 1st.
Please check the webpage at legion197.com, and in addition we will be posting information on Social- Media.
