Turnbow-Higgs Post 240 and Auxiliary Unit 240 the American Legion, with financial aid from local donors, sponsored seven local students as delegates to the 2015 Girls and Boys State programs held in June.
The delegates and their families were invited to Turnbow-Higgs Post 240 & Unit 240’s regular monthly meeting held on Tuesday August 18. Following an opening ceremony that included prayer, the singing of The National Anthem and a buffet meal, each delegate came to the podium and spoke to a full house of Legionnaires, guests and family sharing what the week’s seminar meant to them.
