We had a great Christmas party in December. Paul Bustard, John’s son, prepared his gourmet turkey feast for us and admission was an toy for Holly House and/or food for the Edmonds Food Bank. For the first time this year, we had a raffle as part of the activities and the officers each brought an item or items to be raffled. We ended up raising over $500 for the Posts. When we dropped the toys off at Meadowdale Middle School where Holly House is held, we estimated we had over 50 toys donated by members of the Legion and/or VFW. I have no idea as to the amount of food items but our members were equally generous to the Food Bank as they were to Holly House. A big thanks goes out to everyone who brought food to the party as well. No one left hungry. And finally, thanks to everyone who setup and took down. We left the place spotless and I know the Senior Center appreciated that.
