Care Packages – Marty Novak
We sent 28 Care Packages in July. If you know of anyone who is deployed, please give us their name and address and we will be happy to send them monthly packages for as long as they are deployed.

Thanks to our American Legion Family for the help and support they give us, to the members, non- members, groups, organizations, and business of our community for their monetary donations, memorials and donations of supplies.

Thanks to everyone who came to help with the packing. We couldn’t continue to do this worthy project without the help of all of you.

Our next Care Package day is August 14th. We start packing as soon as we finish setting out the supplies and everything is ready…about 10:15 and we are usually finished by about 11:00. Anyone is welcome to come help us pack. It’s lots of fun. Come join us.
