American Legion Needs Community Support

American Legion Needs Community Support

By Karen Fluegee

The Nicollet American Legion is looking for community support to continue with an annual celebration and brought the matter to Nicollet City Council August 8.

Brad Pyan, Commander, and Dave Holcomb, Adjutant, of the Nicollet American Legion explained their reasons for needing community and city support to be able to continue with a Friendship Days type celebration in Nicollet during the fourth weekend of June.

“We just don’t have the help that we need to hold Friendship Days. We are looking for ideas as it is just too much for the current members. I think we need to involve the city, churches, Fire Department, the Chamber of Commerce, the Lions Club, and others to make it a community event. We need to look for a partnership with others or having Friendship Days is not going to work much longer.” Pyan talked about costs. “We talked about this last year and the year before,” Pyan added. “Everyone wants something for something. At the end we spread the love. Any profits we have,

we would ‘divvy’ out to those involved. At the end, we ask to get costs.” See more at https://issuu.com/nicollet-county-ledger/docs/ncl_081822
