Department Convention will be here quickly. Just about 3 weeks ago a letter outlining a CONTEST FOR CONVENTION BOOK ADS was sent to every post in the State. These ads have come to the office at a very slow rate. To date, we have received only 5 ads. With the deadline fast approaching for submitting these ads to the printer, (April 15, 2023), I would like to remind everyone to not hold the ads and submit all at once. Please send these as you get them. If you are unfamiliar with the contest, that will earn the post with the most ads, $500.00, then please ask your Post Commander for the information. Ad forms are available under the convention tab on the Department website, (legionnh.org). Department Convention May 17 - 21, 2023 ***
