Alex and the Allstars (above) rock the crowd during the premiere It’s Thursday concert of the 2015 season at the Brook Bandshell, 900 Skidmore Dr., last Thursday. Keyboardist, guitarist, and vocalist Lisa Furtado LaManna (inset) gets into the music during the performance. The opening of the popular summertime series was delayed by a week due to inclement weather. The free weekly concerts are sponsored by the Antioch Parks and Recreation Department and continue through August 13. The country group StateLine will be on stage for the June 25 performance.

The American Legion is the world’s largest veteran’s organization and Antioch’s post 748, unlike many others throughout the country, is growing. The local post will be in the Fourth of July parade and also have a presence at the It’s Thursday concerts in the park series this summer. The group meets the second Thursday of each month at the VFW hall, 75 North Avenue at 7 p.m. Meetings are open to members and anyone who is interested in possible membership. In the past year, this group has seen a 30 percent growth and is rapidly proving itself a community asset. Adjutant Mike Hellquist sat down with a reporter last week and talked about improvements in the group and planned projects. “Legion, Legion auxiliary members and other volunteers will be putting together care packages in later July for our nine active military members
and the Army’s 941st TC Detachment out of Fort Sheridan, my old unit,” he said. “Some members of that unit are currently stationed overseas,” Hellquist explained. “If someone would like to help either with packaging or providing supplies or monetary donations, that would be appreciated,” he said. Those interested in helping may contact Hellquist at (262) 359-1348 or by mail to P.O. Box 465. Antioch. The Legion is currently compiling lists of what the military members need. Item lists for the care packages will be available at the It’s Thursday concerts in the park series or by calling Hellquist. The legion post color guard will soon appear at public events and will raffle off a Brinkman grill this summer. The post hopes to sell 200 raffle tickets for $5 each for the five-burner grill with a deep fryer on one side and a regular burner on the other.
