Scholarship Chicken Dinner

Each year, the Post offers up to five scholarships to a relative of one of our members. The member can be Legion, Auxiliary, or Sons of the American Legion, and the relative can be a son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, niece, nephew, etc., of one of them.

This monthly meal is a way to defray some of the expenses (up to $5000 a year) of the scholarships.

A Quick Note from the Unit 1207 Auxiliary President

Fish fry will only be held once this month, the 1st Friday October 4th, therefore we will be holding our monthly bake sale that day from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Donated baked goods would be so appreciated. 

I am excited to announce that for our next meeting Tuesday October 8th at 6:00 p.m, we will have three of the girls that we sponsored for girls State coming to speak about their experience please join us and listen to their stories.

We would also like to discuss our Snip Sheet, that is where we donate our monies to, if time is allotted. We need members in attendance to make motions and vote during this process. 

We would also like to discuss the possibility of a little alternative to the bake sale during fish fry it would be called “fish fry and a slice of pie.” 

Looking ahead to November. The first Saturday November 2nd is the auxiliary’s turn to sponsor the Meat Raffle for the Children’s Christmas Party. We will need volunteers. We are also discussing the possibility of doing poppies during Veterans Day weekend November 8th through November 10th. If you would like to volunteer for poppies please reach out to me.

Our yearly membership dinner will be Saturday October 19th, all paid up  2025 members will receive their dinner for free. Please consider renewing your membership on or before that day to enjoy a fantastic meal.

Continued thankfulness for our members and volunteers,  we can’t do what we do for our  veterans & families without YOU!!

Much gratitude, 

Amy Powers, Auxiliary President

This dinner is free when you pay your 2025 membership dues. You will receive your 2025 card on this day as well. If you are unable to make the dinner, you may come into the post at anytime and pay your dues with the bartender. Make sure you get a receipt. It is necessary for our records. 

In other news we will be hosting the Bears vs Packer party on November 17th at noon. We will be serving brats and hot dogs.  There will be sound for the game and maybe a raffle or two.
