The American
Legion Convention is coming up the second week of June. Everyone is urged to attend to see what the American Legion is all about.
Dues are slowly trickling in for 2008—please help recruit new Son’s. The ultimate goal we are shooting for is 200 members!
We had our 2008-2009 Election of Officers in April. Congratulations goes out to everyone. You can view the Officer listings in this issue of the Scoop.
The American Legion is looking for a regulation size pool table. If you, or anyone you know, can help with this task, please contact the post at 856-665-3889.
A thank you goes out to members of the SALs that came out to help the Cherry Hill Fire Department and myself plant the 16 new cherry trees on Chapel Ave. (Philo Beck, Ron Flynn, Robert Arcinese, and Jim Arcinese).
There was a follow-up of Post volunteers the following day for the flagging and ribboning of Chapel Ave. Thanks to SAL members, Tom Wright, Tim Viguers and other Post volunteers who came out to help with that.
Although submissions for this Scoop were due before the Annual Yard, Bake and Hoagie Sale took place (April 26th), I’m sure it will be a huge success, as it is every year. A special thanks to Doris Ihlenfeld for all her hard work, along with all the other Post volunteers that help.
We are now entering our busy season with Memorial Day just around the corner. We’re going to need all the volunteers and help we can get within our Squad. There is the grave flagging at Locustwood, the Township services at Town Hall and the annual State Service at Locustwood. See Post calendar or our website (www.alch372.com) for details of all events.
Speaking of our website, be sure to visit it frequently and sign up for email alerts. It’s a great way to keep up to date with all our upcoming events and also late breaking news! Please make an effort to volunteer some time over the next couple of months to help out for the good of your Squad.

For God and country,
Brian Fitzgerald
SAL Commander
