Election outcomes follow the budgets. • Warrensburg Central School District budget: Yes, 279; No, 90. total appropriations: $20,548,915 - a 5.2 percent increase calling for a tax levy of $7,641,758 - a 1.75 percent increase. All three propositions passed: to establish a Capital Reserve Fund of up to $5 million over 10 years for school facilities upgrades; to spend savings of $300,000 to purchase new kitchen equipment; and to lease three 66-passenger busses at a cost of up to $58,000 each.

ELIZABETHTOWN | As the American Legion celebrates its centennial this year, Boquet Valley Post 551 marks 91 years of service to veterans and community here.
SALUTING SERVICE
This is the first in a series of stories honoring the 100th anniversary of the American Legion. The pieces will run periodically throughout the year, and they will run in each edition of The Sun, wherever you live. When these folks were sent, they just went; it didn’t matter where they were from or where they were going. They served us all. We salute their service. ■
The Boquet Valley Post was the ninth legion to form in Essex County, and received its charter on May 5, 1928. As indicated by the post number, it was the 551st formed in New York State since summer of 1919 when the Legion began its work in every U.S. town or county, joining together to support veterans of the Great War and later changing its charter for veterans of all wars. The names of Boquet Valley Post’s founding members are neatly typed in columns on the original certificate kept framed under glass. » American Legion Cont. on pg. 7
