Legion holds Lent Fish Fry Dinners

The Palatine American Legion Post 690 is holding a series of fish frys during Lent upstairs in their family-friendly banquet hall which is open to the public from 5:45 until 8 p.m. at the American Legion 122 W. Palatine Road, in Palatine, to raise funds for Legion Family Charities.

“We will be serving crunchy, battered cod dinners for $15 for adults, $11 for veterans and $6 for children 10 years old and younger,” said Mike Rocha, Sons of the American Legion commander. “The dinners include a garden salad, fish, tater-tots, mac & cheese, rolls and dessert. A full service bar is available for drinks in the banquet hall and downstairs in the Legion’s clubroom.”

The fish frys will be held on Fridays during Lent: on Feb. 16 and 23; in March, they will be held on March 1, 8, 15, 22 and on Good Friday March 29.

“We are always looking for new members for the American Legion,” said Rocha. “If you are interested in supporting those individuals who have defended our country then the Legion is the organization for you. If you have any questions on the American Legion, Legion Auxiliary, the Sons of the American Legion or any of our activities call us at (847) 359-1606.”

The American Legion Family consists of the American Legion, the Sons of the American Legion (S.A.L.) and Legion Auxiliary. The American Legion and Legion Auxiliary began in 1919, while the S.A.L. was created in 1932, as patriotic veteran’s organizations devoted to mutual helpfulness. These organizations are committed to advocating patriotism and honor, promoting a strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow service members and veterans.
