Services Update

The service for George Wells will be held at Acacia Cemetery on Saturday, June 20th at 1300 hours (1:00 PM), Deacon Dave presiding. 

A reception will follow after the service at the American Legion Post 234 in Mountlake Terrace.

Program and additional information.

Legionnaires,

It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that Commander George Wells received orders from the Supreme Commander last night and had to weigh anchor and get underway reroute to life everlasting. I had the honor of spending an hour with him yesterday speaking about various experiences we had both enjoyed over the past years.

Chief Wells had big plans for us, his shipmates at the Legion, and was looking forward to implement these plans this next coming year. 

Receiving these orders to get underway was surely a sudden surprise to the Commander but as a loyal Shipmate he did not hesitate to fulfill the Supreme Commander's request.

As more information and arrangements are made I will keep you informed. George was looking forward to attending our gathering on the May 25th at the Post. Please keep Commander Wells and his loved ones in your prayers.

May following winds be at your back Chief; it was an extreme honor for me to be your shipmate.

Plans call for three residential buildings on site and one community building that includes a common laundry and kitchen and offices for social services. Catholic Community Services of Western Washington developed the project on the site of a former trailer park.

A year from now, the small lot off Filbert Road will have permanent housing for 20 chronically homeless veterans with on-site services, including chemical dependency treatment, counseling, job placement and skills development.

AMERICAN LEGION POST 234 SPONSORS TWO LOCAL STUDENTS FOR THE 75TH ANNUAL EVERGREEN BOYS STATE
 
S. Al Wilcox American Legion Post 234 in Mountlake Terrace is sponsoring two local students for the 75th annual Evergreen Boys State, to be held 21-27 June 2015 at the Warm Beach Conference Center in Stanwood, WA.
 
As required, Yoshi Choi and Veng Hong have just completed their Junior academic year at Kamiak High School in Mukilteo. 
 
They have also demonstrated outstanding qualities of leadership, character, loyalty and service to their school.
 
During their week at Boys State they will simulate and emulate Washington State government through a fun and engaging summer program where they will have an opportunity to construct local, county and state governments.
 
Activities will include running for office, court proceedings, creating and enforcing laws, honing public speaking skills, experiencing how government works, get inspired by guest speakers, have fun, and make new friends for life.
 
The Boys State program was started by the American Legion in 1935 in the State of Illinois. It is now duplicated in every state.
