A message from Dave Arend American Legion 3rd District Commander SAL Finance Officer.
I am raising funds to replace hunting stands at Legionville. These stands are used for the John Zgoda Disabled Deer Hunt and need to be in good shape and able for usage by disabled vets. There are many stands that need yearly upkeep, so I am raising funds to replace or rebuild the stands so that they are usable for many more years to come. We are estimating that it will take on average $1500.00 per stand, to build a new stand. Any funds that are raised for this can be send to the 3rd District SAL Finance Officer Dave Arend Sons of The American Legion. 3rd District Commander, Squad 225 Forest Lake, VP American Legion Hospital Association 763-568-6620 DArend77@outlook.com If you have any questions please feel free to contact me and I will answer any questions that you may have. Thank You in advance. https://www.mnthunderingthird.org/legionville
