Upcoming events.
SAL Fundraiser Mixer
We will have a German style Lager beer and a German style Alt beer (German Ale) , both on tap that were brewed on site. The Alt beer was Kegged last week so it’s ultra fresh. There will also be several premium Whiskeys and Bourbons for your enjoyment. We will have plenty of food such as Bratwurst, Italian sausage and my soon to be famous smoked ribs.
There is also a regulation size pool table and a Foosball table for play time. We are also planning on having live music preformed by many members of the Northbrook School of music and beer, and other artists. If the weather is decent, the outside beer garden will be open.

Illinois American Legion State Legacy Run in The 2nd Division
Rider Leadership,
Please see below for the In-State Legacy Run.
This email is just to Save the date, more information to follow (flier). This run will not have a route but rather an end point with registration, donations, and fifty/fifty raffle.
There will be a wreath laying by the State Commander Wayne Fischer at a chosen Veteran Memorial and finish at a nearby Legion Post. Since there is no route, each ALR Chapter will plan their own route to the registration point. This format is being used do to the short amount of time to plan this run. All funds on this run will be used to support the Legion Legacy Scholarship Fund and the State Commanders project, the Legion Relief Fund. More information to follow when all details have been finalized.
