S.A.L. updates...From the September Newsletter-
We're through another month again - where is the summer going? This has been a great month so no use in rehashing on what has happened but lets look ahead to this month.
It is fruit season and a very good friend of the Legion will be (again) giving us buckets of apples and pears, they are free and will be showing up soon.
We will be installing a flat screen TV at the bar just in time for football season. This has happened by the generosity of Al-the hat man-Fletcher, William Thielen and all the members who came to eat with us at the Post, Saturday, August 15th when Aaron & Pops band was playing.
The basement rehab is almost finished and will be worthy of renting for all your function needs. (pictures will be put on our web site by Sandy Smith when we are done.) The web site address is located at the top of your Legionnaire newsletter.
Members can get up to date info on the post by forwarding your e-mail address to salnepost1@yahoo.com. The list is growing and will only get better by your participation and input. This e-mail site is for all members, legion, sal and auxiliary.
Have a great month!
Chris Ippolito, S.A.L. Commander, Squadron 1
