AMERICAN LEGION POST 136 TO HOST THE COMMANDER’S
BALL ON VALENTINE’S DAY
Officers of Post 136 will be hosting their annual Commander’s Ball fund-raising dinner on Valentine’s Day the 14th of February (Friday), beginning from 5:00-8:00 PM. On the menu will be prime rib and garlic shrimp with green beans, garden salad, dinner roll, baked potato plus dessert.
This is a great time to enjoy a delicious meal with music, friends and a chance to meet the Legion officers who will be hosting and serving you. This is a semi-formal dinner.
Tickets for the event are $30 and must be purchased by the 11th of February (Tuesday) and are available at the bar. This event is open to the public so get your tickets early. All proceeds will go to the Scholarship Fund for the graduating seniors of Pine Island. Last year the Post was able to offer eight of our students’ scholarships.
The American Legion is located at 4106 Stringfellow Road, St. James City. Call 239-283-4434 for more information.
