To: Harveys Lake Post 967 American Legion Members, Sponsors and Volunteers.
I would like to thank everyone that helped make our Annual Kids Fishing Derby a huge success this year. The turn out was excellent and all the children had smiles on their faces as every one of them received a fishing pole, shirt, food and fun as well as trophies for the top winners in each division.
Thanks to all the sponsors, volunteers and Legion members for all your support. You are greatly appreciated. If not for everyone involved this wonderful event would not be possible.
Last but not least congratulations to all the kids, Great Job!
PS See you next year
Thank You Post 967 SAL Commander
