County Government Days

October 27^th, 2008 was County Government Days in Columbus. I was so pleased that I had the opportunity to go to the court house to watch the process of the high school kids being sworn in and they were assigned to their jobs for the day. The kids gain knowledge about the government’s workings, by mentoring from officials at the county level. At 11:30 they all came to the Legion club to have lunch, thanks Kevin for cooking the lunch and thank you to the ladies who made brownies and cake and helped serve the lunch to the high school kids. The US Army sponsored this luncheon and gave a small speech. Thanks again Patty for the invitation I enjoy learning more about what the Legion Family means and the work that we do. I look forward to doing so much more with the Legion Family.
