Sons of the American Legion squadron to host celebration

Sons of the American Legion Squadron 112 will host their first birthday celebration on Saturday, January 22, 2011, at Ontario American Legion Post 112, 310 W. Emporia, Ontario.

"A year ago, a group of us decided to see how much interest there was to form a Sons of the American Legion (S.A.L.) Squadron" said S.A.L. Commander Tod Curry.

"We had an initial meeting, and the response was excellent. In the past year, we have been involved in numerous events here at the Post and in the community, supporting veterans, servicemen, and our parent organization, The American Legion." Sons of The American Legion membership has grown to well over 40 members over the past year, including Ontario councilman Alan Wapner, and Upland Mayor John "J.P." Pomierski. The event this Saturday will not only celebrate the Squadron's first birthday, but will also recognize volunteers who have been instrumental to the growth of S.A.L. Squadron 112, and American Legion Post 112. The event is from 3-8 pm, with dinner being served from 5-7 pm. Donations are appreciated. Music, featuring karaoke, will be provided.
