St. Augusta Post has one, and if they need members they can come from
either Legion. Plus the Sartell Legion has been invited to march in the
St. Patrick’s Day parade in Marty, MN(Pearl Lake). It is on March 14 at

Stands at 112, Our goal is 130.
Old Business:
The Hockey donation of $500 for uniforms is tabled until an official
request letter is received by the Legion. With no response from the
Hockey team, this request is now tabled.
The Sartell Chamber of Commerce booklet came out, the Sartell
American Legion was not present. (Since we did not pay the $150
for a 1” add).
New Business:
Request from the Deer Hunter group at Ft. Ripley, wanting funds to
allow Disabled Vets to hunt. Our Legion will donate $100 to this function
and this donation will be added to our Budget process in the new year.
On February 9, 2009 the Sartell American Legion presented
Councilman David Petersen a US flag to take with him to IRAQ.
Since he was not a member, the Legion offered the first years
membership due to his service to our country.
This brought up the question on how to notify all the other service
men and woman, in our area, about this offer? (That the Sartell
Legion will buy the first years membership in our club, if the
person will join and is eligible). No solution was found.
Closing Prayer was read by the 1st Vice, Snuffy
Attendees: Paul Schafer, Ayers Putnam, Nick Dockendorf,
Robert Schwalboski, and John Denney.
Meeting Adjourned at 7:45 PM
John Denney, Adjutant
