American Legion Thanks!



This weekend is the Annual meeting for the American Legion. I found out today that CT was the first state the the American legion walk a thon benefiting Children's Miracle Network took place! Yeah CT! The reason that we went today was to thank them for raising $15,000.00 that beautiful day in April. Rebecca was presented with a nice jacket with her Name embroidered on it and the CCMC, CMN, and the American Legion logos on it. She was also given an American Legion teddy bear. They have beautiful posters of her... a shot that was taken in October 08 and a picture when she was only 2 days old! My how far she has come! I told Becca's story and then Scott our go to guy (fundraiser coordinator) and Jerry Kristopher (DJ from DRC) were presented with plaques to thank them for all their work with the walk a thon!
Scott and I also got to thank the Woman's Auxiliary for helping with the walk a thon. There was another collection in the meeting and another $400 and something was raised! These are great people and we enjoyed our day with them! Thank You American Legion for all your hard work!
