By now most of the house leagues are under way, but there is always room for one more, so drop in and check on the league of your choice.
Watch the sports board in November for the posting of all inter-Legion sports.
We need more participation so sign up. Each and every sport gives you a chance to meet and form a friendship with other Legion members.
The more participants we have in an event the better chance of winning and hosting it the next year. When we host an event it is a great financial help to our legion, so the theme for 2009 is:
"LET'S BRING IT BACK IN 2010."
Please remember when you sign up, and the Legion pays your entrance fee you must attend the event, or have someone take your place. Those who sign up and do not attend after the entrance fee has been paid will be charged back the amount paid by the Legion.
