ALTON — Alton American Legion Family Post 72 matches donations raised for Vouchers for Veterans Event held Aug. 14 at the American Legion.
Lori Mahar, coordinator and event manager for this event, would like to thank the American Legion for sponsoring the location and matching the donations raised for this event. Total donation to the Vouchers for Veterans was $3,330. The Sons of the American Legion sponsored a Corn Hole Tournament and donated $1,000 to the Vouchers. The Barnstead Farmer’s Market Vendors donated the gift raffle items which helped raise over $,1000. This event was dedicated to the American Legion, and a beautiful plaque was presented in honor of Commander and friend Mo Luckern who passed away a week before the event.
Without the volunteers, specifically Suzanne Neal Sepulveda, Bill Inman and Heather Marie Brown, and the musicians: Out on Bail, Chris Bonoli and Friends, and White Dog Duo and the Sons of the American Legion, the event would not have happened.
