seniors helping new story Commanders interviews
Post 407 of the American Legion here in El Paso is partnering with another local Post to sponsor a young man to go to Boys’ State.
They are need of some donations to accomplish this mission. Any amount you can give will help us send this person to Austin to attend this prestigious event. It starts on 9 Jun and ends on 14 Jun 2024 in Austin TX. Transportation costs are not cheap, of course. We would also provide this student with some soda and hamburger money. If you wish to help, please send donations to:

IF you need further information, you may email me, the Adjutant of 407, at: doleary2@elp.rr.com
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
