11 Great Lakes Shrine Clown Congrats to Chad Denton for taking home 1st place in the Great Lakes Shrine Clown White Faces Category! Legion of Honor Submitted By: Curran Wilkinson Hadi Legion Notes: Greetings from Hadi Legion of honor. November has slipped up on us; my how time flies! November is a very important month with many activities on our calendars. First is November 6 which is Election Day. It is important that we all exercise our right and privilege to vote for the candidates of our choice. Men and Women have fought and died since the beginning to preserve this freedom. It is called DEMOCRACY. So please don t let these service men and women who gave their lives for freedom only to have died in vain. November 11 is Veteran s Day in America. This is the day we pay tribute to the service men and women who gave a portion of their lives; and in many cases their life, that the U. S. of A. remain to be a free country. There will be many programs honoring veterans that day. If you see a veteran, thank him or her for their service. Next is Thanksgiving Day, a day set aside to give thanks for our many blessings and a bountiful harvest. It is also opening day of The Hadi Shrine Circus. It takes a lot of work to put this circus on and to make it a success. Please volunteer to help during the circus. We at Hadi Legion of Honor are seeking new members, so bring your DD214 to Hadi Shrine on the 4th Monday at 7:00 PM and we will note on your petition during our monthly meeting. Remember, it is an Honor to belong to the Legion of Honor. Curran Wilkinson P. C. Hadi LOH 11
