An enjoyable Saturday workshop followed by a pleasant evening dinner would normally be a hard act to follow. However, such is not the case in Area 1. For Sunday morning Area 1 Legionnaires arrived bright and early to "Get the best seats", or was that "To get 1st pick of the donuts" ? |

A North State biker presented one of Area 1 Vice Commander Bradbury's ideas concerning a shrinking Legion membership ... incorporating outside groups for support, and assistance, such as biker groups, while Floyd Martin presented "A view from National". |

Ken Kruger, whose 6th District Post hosted the 3rd Quarter Area 1 Meeting, made a few closing comments.
|
|
Have you ever notice how when one person bends the rules by ignoring the "Orders of the Day", the stage is then set for the multitude to inundate the platform. Such was the circumstances that evolved, for a multitude of those running for Department positions flooded the microphone.
|
|
After all is said and done, there is always time for closing photographs, no matter how insistent the Department Commander may be about getting to the airport, in order to avoid missing his flight.

It was a good Area 1 meeting, with a lot covered in a very short time. Thank you Post 521, thank you 6th District.
