After lunch, served by our Chef Bobby Jones, and dessert prepared by our Auxiliary ladies, Commander Dellinger spoke of his project and how we as American Legion serve in our local communities. Most of the time we are like the Masons, one of the best kept secrets. We need to let the public know what we do.
