The 10th Annual Dance
The tenth Annual Sons of the American Legion Dance and Back Country BBQ is now history and if early indicators are right, the most successful event since the inaugural effort. The Menghini Winery hosted the dance and the SAL manned the BBQ with patrons enjoying a great afternoon of mild weather. And although the low clouds came in and cooled the temperatures it didn’t cool the spirits of anyone in attendance as the dance floor appeared to get more crowded as darkness set in. The event has always been an excuse for locals to renew old friendships and reacquaint with those they have lost touch, plus make new friends. An informal survey put the attendance at about 70% local, with a larger contingent of the under 12 crowd that we have witnessed in the past... most of whom seemed more interested in the dance floor than the bounce house. Once again the SAL and the rest of the American Legion family can look back with pride on an successful event that went off without a hitch and was enjoyed by those in attendance. So once the cleanup is done and they have a chance to catch their breath, planning can start for next years shin-dig.

Isabella Copeland, valedictorian for 2016 “It’s not that life is too short, it’s that our desires are too big for one lifetime. I’ve been looking for a big, complicated answer for too long. The truthful answer is so simple: I want each person on this stage to live happily and healthily. Because if my classmates end up truly content with their lives, that’s real success, even heroic, and that’s all I can ask for.”
