AMERICAN LEGION CHILDREN'S HOME

Need to Know

SUMMER, 2010 Issue #73

A Busy Summer, With More To Come...

     We have had a very busy summer. On June 11 and 12, Bill Alexander, Kerri Bowman and Lori Henderson ventured to Alexandria, Louisiana for the Louisiana American Legion State Convention. We made many new friends by telling our old story.
     Bill also traveled to Beaumont, Texas for the Texas American Legion State Convention on June 25 and 26. His wife, Pennie, accompanied him and they had a great time! Everyone was very interested in helping our Home in any way possible. Since returning from these two trips, we have received over $11500 from Texas and Louisiana! What great states and great people!
     We had a visit from the American Legion Riders Post 29 of Jackson, Michigan on June 28. Four Riders made the trip and spent a few hours on our campus before presenting us with a check for $2000! This is the very kind of support we need from our Legion family all across the nation.
     We are working diligently to get the word out about our current situation. We have been invited to the Colorado American Legion Mid-Winter Conference this year. Our goal is to visit every Department state convention to spread the word about the ONLY American Legion Children’s Home, so please call or email if you would like for us to speak and present at your convention.
     We are finalizing our trip plans for the American Legion National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 26-31. Please come by our booth (#105) if you are going to the National Convention. We are also looking for volunteers to wear special shirts while there and help at the booth, so please call us if you are interested in doing so. Th ere has not been a greater need for your support in our long history than there is today. We need everyone to pull together to help us save this Home!
