Help the Palatine American Legion’s Adopt-A-Sailor dinner

Palatine American Legion Post 690 is seeking donations for its Adopt-A-Sailor dinner, when recruits from Great Lakes Naval Station visit the American Legion hall for Thanksgiving dinner.

Since the recruits will not be able to enjoy the holiday with their families, the Legion will be providing dinner, a day of activities and the ability to call home for however long they desire.

“It is our goal to provide to these young men and women a memory that will stay with them their entire life,” said Sue Hallsten, who is leading the project.

Checks made payable to the American Legion with a notation of Adopt-A-Sailor can be sent to the American Legion Attention: Adopt-A-Sailor 122 W. Palatine Road, Palatine, IL 60067. Donations can also be made online through PayPal using the Donate button at Alpost690.us. All donations will receive a letter for tax deductions.
