During the September 2017 Executive Committee meeting, the leadership of American Legion Post 409 in Allen Park, MI, voted to donate a total of $9,000 to support 6 different Legion programs in Michigan to support Veteran causes. The donations were ratified during the September monthly business meeting.
The recommendation for the donations was suggested by Post 409 Commander David Babbage. After some discussion, it was decided that $1,500 would be donated to 6 different programs administered by the Michigan Legion, bringing the total donation to $9,000.
A photo of the presentation of the ceremonial check was included in the October 2017 Michigan Legionnaire & Auxiliaire. If you missed the print version, the online version is available.
