American Legion Post # 8 news for you

A busy little post that is proud to serve Veterans and the community at large

Good Afternoon Norwich,

I thought I would take a moment and let you know about some of the things that we have been doing here at the post and some upcoming events. The photos and captions tell the story.

A new sign was made compliments of Tom Slater along with a new flagpole that was paid through member donations.

Post everlasting ceremony for Legion member Doc Simon who recently passed

A little bit of humor added in

Did you know that you can play cribbage at the Legion Hall every Thursday evening from 6:00 to 9:00 pm? Cribbage was started here by Legion member Earl Thompson (deseased) over 25 years ago as a way to bring in some funds and also get the community together to have some fun. You can walk away after a few weeks and you may actually know how to play the game.

Veteran’s Day ceremony

On November 11, 2021, at 12:00 noon there will be a Veteran’s day ceremony and we will be also honoring the four new names that will be on our monument for 2021.

A solemn tribute indeed (photo taken at last ceremony)

These photos were taken at the last ceremony

The American Legion Post # 8 is having their annual bake sale at the Legion hall

Why not help with our annual bake sale: The bake sale will be held at 9:00 am on November 21 and here is how you can assist

Bake a little something and donate it for the cause

Baking is a good thing as the old saying goes ( everyone “kneads the dough” ) if you know what I mean.

Buy a baked product and support our public service activities
