In other news, the Legion is accepting registration for its first annual Thanksgiving dinner for senior veterans to be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 20. The Legion encourages those interested to sign up at the Legion so they will have an accurate head count in preparing for the event, according to Zeste Debro, post commander.
