American Legion Post 60 Newsletter September 2019

MESSAGE FROM THE COMMANDER

I would like to encourage you to renew your membership online at www.legion.org/renew, it's easy, fast and secure; it saves us both paper work and the price of a stamp. John Straten will have the cards at the meetings if you prefer to renew then or you can mail them to the address on the renewal notice. Have you considered being a Paid Up For Life (PUFL) Member? Check it out and see if that works for you. Please join me in welcoming our new and transfer members: Gerald Roberts and returning Legionnaire Rodney Peregoy. Post 60 has a lot going on during the month of September. We encourage you to help and if you cannot help, attend events and support fundraising. It all goes to Veteran causes. We take care of our own.
