Just a reminder that the District 8 business meeting and memorial service will be on Sun, Jun 12 2022 at 11 am at Post 624 in Sunrise Beach. Memorial Service begins at 11 am, followed immediately by lunch and then the business meeting.
We are a weekend later than normal as many of our active members and District 8 officers are attending a Legion Riders Legacy run in another state this first weekend this year. I would have been with them if it hadn't been for recent back surgery. I'm back up and doing well so I hope to see you all there on Jun 12th!
