Welcome Message Welcome to the Building Committee's Web Site. We'll use this site to pass along information whenever we're able to. The Building Committee Charter was approved at the April 2007 General Membership meeting and the Building Committee's Executive Board had their first meeting on 23 Apr 07. We have started with the real work......creating marketing material, raising funds, and researching designs for the new building! Our current "big push" is a four day Legion Jubilee fundraiser. We're going to have a carnival, live entertainment, food booths, Arts and Crafts booths, a health fair and lot more. Read more about our ambitious, first ever event of its kind here at the Jubilee page. We hold our New Building Committee/Jubilee meetings on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month at 7pm in the hall. Please come out and offer your ideas and decide now how you would like to get involved. We need everyone! Please come out and learn about what we're doing. Better yet, please come out and get involved! We need everyone, even YOU, to be involved in order for us to succeed. If you have any questions, please send me an email at dennis.ducharme@yahoo.com or stop by the Post and talk with any of our Executive Board members. See you soon!

Legion Post 593 Provides Forty Years of Service Three Days of Fun Veterans helping one another as well as the local community, state and nation. That’s the mission of The American Legion and the mission of one of our local Legion Posts located in Converse. William M. Randolph Post 593 takes this mission seriously. After more than 40 years of service to others, they’re asking for help from the community. “Post 593 needs a new Post Home to better serve not only our retired and disabled veterans, but our active duty troops and local community as well. The community needs a modern hall that can hold 300-400 people that’s available to use for weddings, retirements, or any other reason. Quite frankly, we've outgrown our current facility. To make matters worse, our current facility is in need of some major repairs and it wouldn't make economic sense to repair it. The only problem is we don't have the funds to build one.” Post Commander Nick Mills reports. “This is what has inspired our Legion Jubilee. We thought we'd hold a huge community out-reach program and have fun doing it.” To help raise funds for a new Post Home and increase awareness among the local community, Post 593 is preparing to hold the second annual Legion Jubilee May 7-10 at Converse City Park. There will be a carnival over the four day period, bands on two stages, a Health Fair, Arts and Crafts booths, food booths, face painting, martial arts and dance demonstrations, car and motorcycle show, a motorcycle run, plus a whole lot more. Even the mayor of Converse, Al Suarez, is participating. In addition to formally opening the Jubilee, he’ll pull a stint in the dunking booth. Post Chaplain and Jubilee organizer Dennis Ducharme said he encourages the community to come out in force to support the Legion in its mission of service. “We have a history of service to our community. We do a lot of good things on a regular basis, but unfortunately, we don’t do a very good job of promoting ourselves.” Chaplain Ducharme said. “For years our Post has sponsored scholarships for high school students, sent high school juniors to Boys and Girls state where they spend a full week learning about our state government, helped veterans at the VA hospital and wounded soldiers at Brook Army Medical Center, participated in community events, sponsored holiday food and gift baskets, provided manpower to community service projects, sponsored a Boy Scout troop, sponsored high school oratorical contests, provided over thirty-thousand dollars in the last two years for scholarships to children who have lost a parent to the war on terrorism, and a whole lot more. We’re active and we make a difference in folk’s lives.” Anyone wishing to participate or volunteer should contact Chaplain Ducharme at 630-0655 or visit the Post’s website at http://www.Post593.org. -- 30 --
