The American Legion is hosting a Time Capsule Memorial on Friday, Oct. 11 2019 at 6 p.m., followed by a Fish Fry dinner for only a $9.00 donation.

The public, along with the membership is invited to attend the dinner and to participate in the time capsule ceremony.

“We would love to invite the public to join us in putting into the time capsule things from all four groups, which is the Auxilary, The Riders, Son’s, and the Legion that represent us today,” said post spokesperson Lisa Massion.

She said the post is interested in obtaining centennial challenge coins, a poppy, group patches, pictures, and drawings from the Juniors.

“We are also putting pictures from the past, including a photo of the original members of the Post 716 organizing board, and various newspaper clippings showing the dedication of the post building, girls and boys state attendees, auxiliary president notes from the 60’s, etc.,” she said.

“If there are members of the community that have Post 716 memorabilia, I would love to include it, along with the story behind it,” said Massion.
