May 9. Thursday. 7 pm. Baseball meeting of all interested students, parents and Legion members. Five more players are needed to form the Fort Scott Post 25 American Legion Baseball team. Players must be between 15 and 19 and live in Fort Scott.
The installation of your Post 25 2019-20 Officers on May 7 was conducted by 2nd District Commander Marri Krupco.
Post Commander Carl Jowers gave each female Legionnaire a customized license plate frame that showed their branch of service and the words “Women are Veterans Too.” Commander Jowers believes that in today’s Legion, no Post can be successful if they do not recruit and retain female Veterans as members.
There are three other female Legionnaires who could not attend last’s night’s meeting. They are Patsy Ferrell, Navy, Jessica Allison, Army and Faye Brown, Army. They will each receive a female Veterans license frame at a time and location convenient for them
