Giving something without expecting anything in return is behavior that deserves recognition. Sons of the American Legion member Mike Gates, of Preferred Landscaping, donated his personal time and energy recently to beautify the landscape of the American Legion. On June 10, past Post Commander Bill Gregones presented Gates with a plaque to acknowledge the special service he performed.
Bob Murray, of the Cedar Springs Food Pantry, also received something that day. Earl A. Tefft, present Post Commander, presented Murray with a $100 check to go to the Food Pantry to help with expenses.
The American Legion, Auxiliary, and Sons of the American Legion would like to see some fresh faces. “The American Legion is always looking for new members,” said Tefft. To find out more, call the Post at 696-9160.
