Walk raises $5,100+
The recent American Legion District #4 Family Kids Walk fund-raiser was a huge success, according to co-chairman Chas MacKenzie of Mayotte-Viens Post #13 of Putnam.
The group, which represented 10 Posts throughout Windham and Tolland counties, later presented Department of Connecticut Walk Chairman with a check for $5,100.  The amount was the most collected among the seven Connecticut districts.  In total The American Legion turned over more than $13,000 to Connecticut Children’s Medical Center.
The walk was co-chaired by Frank Poirier of Buck-Dubiel Post #101 of Somers and Poirier’s 9-year-old daughter, Addison, served as Kids Walk Ambassador.
Afterwards, District #4 Commander Ronald Coderre of Putnam presented citations of appreciation to MacKenzie, Poirier, District Finance Officer Manuel “Manny” Rodrigues and Kids Ambassador Addison Poirier.
