We are at the beginning of November. Hopefully everyone had a safe and happy Halloween. October was a busy month, and I have been enjoying every minute of it. We started in Indy this month for meetings and NEC. I attended 2nd Division meeting, it was a very informative meeting. After the meeting we went to the firing range for some target practice. What a fun way to end the day. I attended 5th Division with the Legion meeting at Post 147 Marion. Then midweek I made a road trip visiting a few Post having good conversations with Legion family members. Last Friday I was in Danville at Post 210 working revitalization with Commander Rick along with legionnaires to help grow our American Legion Family. Last Saturday I attended the 8th District meeting followed with SAL Leadership Training at noon. Have you purchased your $30 raffle ticket yet? Drawing is March 29, at Commander's Rick homecoming.

Here are dates and times of the SAL Leadership Training please mark your calendars and bring a member with you.

Fellow Sons,

 

There have been numerous people who have been receiving "emails" from "Rick Allen" requesting meeting times, bills, ect. THESE ARE SPAM EMAILS!! PLEASE DELETE!! As mentioned in some recent posts on Facebook, if Commander Allen is going to send someone an email it will have either the Sr. Vice Wayne Madson, Adjutant Jeff Van Horn, or both cc'd on the email. Please be aware of scammers out there.

 

Jeffrey J. Van Horn

Adjutant
