Legion Raffle - august 31st

 American Legion 100th Anniversary Commemorative Silver Dollar and Medal Set
One of our amazing members donated a set of the Commemorative Legion Coins to me to use for a raffle but they asked that I make sure the funds raised go to a worthy cause. 

So I have been waiting but when I heard last week that the USO is in desperate need of food and supplies because Active Duty families are going hungry I thought what better cause could there be! 

The set of coins in themselves are amazing and any Legion member would be thrilled to have these in their collection. I've also been told that they will continue to build in value. So over all I think August raffle is a win/win! Great prize and a Great cause!

Tickets will be available behind the bar starting this week. Winner will be pulled on Saturday, August 31st.
