American Legion Christmas Drop-in, Hosted by Department Commander Cecil Phillips.  Refreshments were generously donated by Mr. & Mrs. Perry McCoy, who arrived early and stayed late with helping hands to arrange the cakes and cookies.

  We'd also like to thank Mr & Mrs. Given Webster who also arrived early to help set out food and stayed late to help clean up.

It was a HUGE success and Department Commander Cecil Phillips thanks everyone involved in this endeavor and everyone that took time from their day to spend at Department Headquarters!!!

Please have very safe and happy holidays with your families.

Merry Christmas!
