Hello American Legion Family,
The S.A.L. would like to inform all "Sons" that our new Phone blast program is in full effect. If you haven't received a recorded voice message or a text message regarding "Sons" events, information, or communication? Please reach out to a "Sons" board member with your current contact information so we can update our records for you, and get you added to our phone blast list. This is a great way to stay in con-tact and receive real time information along with re-minders, and upcoming event information.
I'd like to personally thank everyone especially the S.A.L. members that helped out, cleaned up, set up, and in some aspects overseen the "Flag Retirement Ceremony" and during the Memorial Day recogni-tion. The effort and dedication from some key S.A.L. members are without a doubt a major factor in how great these 2 moments turned out. Thank you is the least we can say, but please know that your efforts have not gone unseen and is extremely appreciated.

This summer we're working through ideas to further footprint the S.A.L. events, and We're looking for more ideas, more events, and more outreach to our veterans and community. So please join us at the meetings as all ideas are welcome and appreciated.

Speaking of events, we will be assisting the American Legion Riders with their MVH ride. Please check out their flyer and join us at the event especially since it is for such a great cause. We'll be helping set up, food serving, clean up, and parking lot lineup. This is a shorter type event that brings so much joy to the resident veterans. So, every moment matters and the Veterans are so appreciative of all that we do. There is no greater reward than seeing a veteran's face light up with joy knowing they're not forgotten and that we are grateful for them.

The next couple of meetings are very important and I hope all S.A.L. members join us.
We hope everyone made it through the heatwave okay, and is finally able to enjoy the summer. Please Stay safe in the heat, and remember to check in on your family, neighbors, friends, and our veterans.

Thank you and we hope to see you at the post.

P.S.
Just a reminder; If you're ever feeling overwhelmed, feeling alone, withdrawn, depressed, concerned, or just need to get something off your chest? Please feel free to contact anytime. I'm here to help and whatever we chat about will stay between us if it's any form of sensitive. No one is ever alone. We as this great organization are here for you.

S.A.L Commander
