Dear
Members:
Something to start thinking about and participating
this summer, the Commercial Club is trying to put an
all day celebration together in observance of
Kensington’s 125th Birthday.
Volunteers are needed to help at Monday night Bingo
and Friday night suppers.
This month is a busy month for needing volunteers
for preparation, serving, and clean-up as we will be
serving Alumni Banquet and then on Sunday with
Memorial day activities. We need as many members as
possible for decorating honors. We are adding 3 more
in the afternoon: Gaylord, Cedar, and Claudell due
to Gaylord Legion disbanding and joining our Legion.
The three added cemeteries will already be
decorated. We will be doing honors only. Contact
Duane Peterson - Legion; Doug Rahjes - SAL; Karen
Pollock - Auxiliary.
We received a letter and picture from the National
Commander congratulating our Legion for one hundred
per cent membership and thanking us for our services
to the community and country.
Thank you to Naponee and Republican City Veterans
and wives that attended our Legion gathering
hamburger feed on April 21st. We had approximately
55 people attend and enjoyed our building and
visiting.
Roy Wangerin and Dick Detwiller were honored at DAR
Ceremony at Smith Center on Saturday April 21st
along with numerous other WWII Smith County
Veterans. for the 70th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor
which was postponed from December 2011.
SAL held their elections last month with following
as officers: Commander - Doug Rahjes: Vice-Commander
- Ron Sidman; Adjutant - Jeff Nech; Treasurer -
Kelly Bertholf; Chaplin - Ron Rahjes; Sgt of Arms -
Galen Larson; Historian - Kevin Smith.
Auxiliary election is in May. We have 4 going to
Girl State and we are working with Agra and they are
sponsoring one.
