I would first like to say that I am happy to finally have some help with the web site, and I see that Mike Ludwig is doing a great job! It takes all of us working together to accomplish the goals of the Post, and for the American Legion. I am proud of what we have done so far, and I am optomistic in what our future will be. We are doing a lot to work the programs of the American Legion. I have been in touch with two individuals for our American Legion Oritorical Constitutional Contest, and I wish both of them luck in developing and competing this coming January. We are still working to help our AAA baseball team, and I encourage any of you who that are interested in helping fundraise let me know and I will get you in touch with a person who can put you to work. The most important part of this team is our support in watching the games. The home page of this web site gives the link to the baseball site for a schedule. I am working to find some more boys and girls for Boys state, and Girls State. This is a great program that is a way to teach young adults the process of government, and to encourage our Americanism programs.

The club is doing a lot to generate activities that are of interest to everyone. If you have any suggestions please let someone know. I know that with the Friday dinners, karaoke, and dances in the upcoming months we will have something for everyone. So come down and see what we are doing. I am hoping to continue the remodelling in the coming months, and plan on doing it in the back room. Steve and I have been tasked with building some more shadow boxes for uniforms that have been donated for us.

Well in closing I would like to let all of you know that it is your support that helps us do the things that we do for our community, and its my mission to continue to do more for our youth. I appriciate all of the great comments and suggestions, and want to hear more. This is the only way that we can continue to grow and improve.
