Information
regarding the Jackson American Legion Post
Building and
Restoration Fund
for Jackson's historic
building at Cache and Gill Sts.
We
have recently completed phase one of this project with the help of
generous donations from members of our community, but much work still
needs to be done. When it is done, our fund drive will be over. We
thank you for any support you can provide in grant writing, donations
to our fund or through the Community Foundation and Old Bill's Fun Run,
or donation of services. Please contact our fearless leader and former
Post Commander, Larry North
by email or phone (733.7329) with any questions. Donation flyers
with a history of how this unique building has made its mark on our
community for the last 75 years, are available in a box in
front of the Hall itself. More information and photos of our progress
will be posted below. Thanks for visiting.
We have recently
finished (August 04) this phase of remodeling the interior along with
log infusions, roofing, electrical improvements and more.
Larry North has gotten a
donation from 5 anonymous individuals for $100,000. that was included
in the 2004 Old Bill's Fun Run event. Several newspaper articles
reported it & Larry deserves our thanks for his efforts.
Speaking of Old Bill's, here are two photos from the event, the
first with Dennis Lamb, David Bentlage & Ian Moore. The second is
with Dennis & David commanding the Scout honor guard that presented
the colors before the start of the race. Participating that day were:
David, Dennis, Larry, Larry Kummer, Walt Farmer & Bob Moore.

Nov. '04, new pedestal/time capsule for new monument
is set while Bob Lalonde, Kurt Dubbe, Larry North & Walt Farmer
supervise. New paint on the money barometer shows about $160k but is
now over $300k.
