On behalf of the American Legion family, as Commander, I would like to extend our thanks to the Lake Tahoe Hi-Lo’s for their total and complete support with the Spaghetti Feed Fund Raiser last Saturday.

A ‘very’ special thanks goes to Wendy Stevens, a Hi-Lo member and owner of Ohanas Unique Design, who created this event and single-handedly secured more than 50 items to be raffled off at the end of the evening, MANY of the items were hand-made by Wendy! Wendy – and her team of Hi-Lo volunteers – showed up on Saturday morning and worked all day preparing for the supporters who came to have a great spaghetti dinner, prepared by Sal Sunzeri, a Hi-Lo AND American Legion member.

In addition to the ‘Hi-Lo’ volunteers, the American Legion also had a number of volunteers to help with serving, clean up and support for the almost 100 people who came for dinner. Over $3,000 was raised to help the Legion raise funds to assist with some past due bills.

The Stella Van Dyke Johnson American Legion has been serving Veterans since 1949 – over 76 years. And, to our community, a reminder. The Legion is here for you. Many Legion Posts are open ONLY for Veterans. Not This Post. We are open to our community and you are invited to come in – any day we are open (Wednesday thru Sunday) – from 3:30pm to 7:30pm and have a drink or just chat. In addition, we are here if you need a location to hold a party, whether it be for a birthday, anniversary, Quinceañera, Celebration of Life, or just gather for a family reunion or a dance party. Our rental prices are the lowest in town. Call 530-541-8788 for more information or to schedule an event.

Tom Millham, Commander
