The American Legion Riders met at the post on 8 July at 1400hrs.
No new members. Event Calendar was discussed as well as concept and planning for a 2008 Poker Run to be sponsored by the post and another ALR chapter. Tentative planning date for 08 Poker run is set for 21 June 2008. We will put together a proposal and discuss with the other chapter to determine if they are willing to set event up.
Orange County Chopper trip date has been set for 22 September. We will be departing the Legion at 0930hrs. (Rain or shine) All are welcome to participate.
We would like to thank all of you who participated in the Longaberger Basket Raffle. Monies raised were divided between the Veteran's Hospital in Spring City ( to purchase prizes for September Fall Festival) and COTA, a nonprofit organization which aids families who's children have life threatening diseases. The donation benefited Amber Louise Martineau.
