Legion Report
by Fred Lee (fotofred4u@q.com)
The William H Crippen Post 62 of Humboldt held their regular meeting on Monday, July 3, 2017. We had the salute to the Flag and the Pledge of Allegiance. Minutes and Treasurer’s reports were given and approved. It was noted that Neal Even was at the VA hospital in Sioux Falls. A thank you card was read from Charlie Beck, who was at the meeting. Fred Lee had a thank you letter from JoAnn Bohl, thanking the Post for their support and confidence in her as she received the Legion’s award for Teacher of the Year at the State level. 
Fred reported on the State Convention held recently in Watertown. At that convention, Hugh Holmes of Mitchell, was elected as our new Department Commander for 2017-2018. The Commander announced that State Commander’s homecoming will be Saturday, July 22, in Mitchell. 
The Commander also mentioned that he had purchased a flag case for the William H Crippen memorial flag to be left in the clubroom. There was some discussion on a future memorial in Humboldt. 
Before the meeting ended, a motion was made to have our 20th Annual Dinner Party on Saturday, September 9, 2017. 

After these discussions, the meeting was adjourned.
