Sons of the American Legion To Hold Baggo Tournament

The Sons of the American Legion (S.A.L.) are holding a baggo tournament which is open to the public on Sunday, Oct. 30 starting at 11 a.m. at the American Legion Hall 122 W. Palatine Rd. in Palatine to raise funds for Legion Family Charities.

“Come out, play some bags and have some fun,” said Jason Foltyn, S.A.L. Commander. “You’ll be able to participate in a bags tournament and enjoy some great food. During the event, you will be able to keep track of the competition by closed circuit television in the clubroom. To go along with the tournament, we’ll have a rubber duck toss and raffles.”

Registration begins at 11 a.m. on the day of the tournament with the competition kicking off at noon. Advance registration is encouraged since a limited number of teams can participate. Teams can register in advance in the clubroom with the bartender.

Teams of two will be able to register their team for $20 in advance or $25 at the door. Entry fees entitle the team to participate in the tournament and each teammate to tater tots and either a hot dog or sloppy joe sandwich. Cash prizes will be awarded for first and second place.

The Sons of the American Legion was created in 1932 as an organization within the American Legion. The S.A.L. is made up of boys and men of all ages whose parents or grandparent served in the United States military and became eligible for membership in the American Legion. There are currently 300,000 members of the S.A.L. in this country and abroad.

The Palatine Chapter holds their monthly general meeting on the first Saturday of the month at 10:30 a.m. at the American Legion Hall on Palatine Road in Palatine.  For further information on the Palatine Sons of the American Legion, any of their sponsored events or for membership write to the Sons of the American Legion, 122 West Palatine Road, Palatine, IL 60067, call them at 847-359-1606, email them at sal690.commander@gmail.com or visit their web site at www.alpost690.us.
