The Legion provided a much needed donation that supports classroom supplies at the Pine River-Backus school. In the past, funding for these necessary supplies for the kids came out of the teachers pockets. Once again, the Legion and its charitable gambling partner, Willards Saloon and Eatery step up to help fund the need with a donation of $2,200.00. Pictured from Left to Right is 1st Vice Commander, Bobbi Taylor; Teachers Representative, Pamela Adkins; and Legion Commander, Brad Taylor.
