Veterans Day program at Hillside

Fellow Legionnaires,

I am forwarding an email we received from Jessica Blood, Music Educator at Hillside Elementary School, inviting us to their Veterans’ Day program on November 11th at 0900 and 1830.

I urge you to put this date on your calendar and try to attend one of these performances if you can.

I assure you that you will not regret it. Those of us who attended last year were treated to a rousing, patriotic show by Ms. Blood and the kids that celebrated both the day and the nation’s veterans.

It will make you proud of the school and these enthusiastic young people, as they show their appreciation.

Last year, a little over twenty of us (including family members) attended the two performances. The evening show was pretty crowded, and I anticipate that the attendance this year will be even higher.

I request that you let us know by November 4th if you plan to attend (include family members), so we can give Ms. Blood an estimate.

Thank you,

Tony Gallardo

Legionnaires – Volunteers Needed for Poppy Distribution on Veterans Day Weekend

Comrade Legionnaires.

The annual Veterans Day weekend Poppy Distribution is on Friday, 6th November & Saturday, 7th November at the Giant Food Store in Ashburn Village.

Please see the attached sign-up sheet for the 3 or 3 1/2 hour shifts involved for you to pick to volunteer on this 2-day event. We really need at least two Legionnaires for each shift. But three is better and as always the more the merrier. If you have never participated in the poppy distribution, give it a try, you may enjoy it. I think that those that participated in the past have enjoyed the event. I certainly do.

Please look over the sign-up sheet and if you would like to volunteer for any shift contact me. If you cannot work a full shift, no problem. Any amount of time that you can volunteer is helpful and appreciated.

[Preferred uniform is a sport coat and tie with Legion cap if you have one; alternate uniform is smart casual with Legion cap if you have one.]

Also, for you information I have attached the Story of the Poppy, Veterans Day and Memorial Day flyers.

See You At The Poppy Distribution
