Scholarships Offered by the American Legion

The American Legion Auxiliary believes that the more knowledge our young people gain, the better citizens they will become. That is why the organization is so committed to education. Investing in the education of our young people is investing in the future of our country.

Time and again we hear about the difference an American Legion Auxiliary scholarship has made in a person’s life, providing unimagined experiences and opening up a world of opportunities. The Auxiliary supports a number of scholarship programs that benefit veterans, the children of our veterans, and the members of the organizations within The American Legion Family.

If you are interested in applying for a scholarship, check out the links below for eligibility requirements, deadlines, and application forms.

Right now, any senior boy or girl who is a descendant of a veteran can apply for a scholarship. Submit applications to Lorraine Bouchard at Post 34. https://www.alaforveterans.org/scholarships/ http://www.rialaux.org/programsservices.aspx

March 25th, 2017 Meat Raffle

Meat Raffles are a great way to meet other members of the Legion in a fun, only slightly competitive, way! How to play: pick a set of cards, and if all of your numbers are called, you get to select a number. That number, in turn, corresponds to a different cut of meat. Could be chicken, could be beef. Who knows? $1 per game. Winners encouraged to do a “happy dance” to entertain the losers and keep them interested! Special raffles also often held for freshly cut fish, scallops or clams. Separate 50/50 raffle. Pot luck dinner following the raffle. It’s always a good time!
