~ AUGUST 2ND - BLOOD DRIVE ~
How would like to save up to three lives?
The Virginia Blood Services needs our help and that's why American Legion Post 175 is stepping up to have a blood drive on Saturday, August 2nd from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the post.
If you have just one hour to spare, please consider giving. The summer is especially a difficult time to get donors and unfortunately a need for more donations.
Call our blood drive coordinator, Mickey Jennings, for an appointment at 874-9773 or just walk in on the day of the event. Thank you and we hope to see you there.
~ Boys State~
The Post sent 12 Delegates to Radford Univ. on June 15th.
Our Boys State representative this year is Dave Dehettre.
~ Friday Afternoon Game Day~
The Post is open at 4 P.M. on Fridays for all active members and guests. We are advertising this as "Game Day" and will have board games, cards, darts and pool available for use. So, bring a friend and come on down and enjoy our new Friday Afternoon Game Day!
~ SCOUTS ~
American Legion Post 175 is sponsoring Cub Scout Pack 553 and Boy Scout Troop 553; if you know of a boy who loves the outdoors, outdoor activities, along with adventure, encourage them to join the scouts. Scouts are open to all boys ages 7 - 18. The troop is attending summer camp this summer at Camp T. Brady Saunders from July 13 - 19, 2014 for a full week of excitement. If interested, please contact Scoutmaster Rick Perry at 804-781-1707.
