COMMANDER – Al Norton
The golf tournament was a great success again thanks to Linda Nennos and leadership and the group of hard working people who assisted her.
A bunch of good food and fun was had by all who cheered Gene Hill on during the Elephant Days cook off. In the eyes of the American Legion family Gene, you are the winner!
A special thanks goes out to our Major for allowing us to assist her in the 9/11 ceremony.
Our cook trailer is complete, thank you Tommy Pearce, great job!
A new position of lead bartender has been create. Liz Nellis has been selected to fill that position. Thank you Liz for stepping up.
It’s time to start submitting your nominees for the Annual Special awards to be given in January. The winners will be selected at the November executive committee meeting. Please submit written recommendations of why to me for review.
Let’s pray for the men and women serving our great country.
God Bless America

Finance Officer- Bob Nellis
August saw a downturn in revenue but we are still operating in the black. Ongoing expenses such as replenishing the ATM and Pull Tabs are shown as losses but will be profits in the long run.
There will be some unexpected expenses going into September for a new computer, cash register, and bathroom flooring. The cost of these should be offset when the revenue from the golf tournament is distributed.
