AERO PARK ANNUAL BENEFIT PICNIC
Saturday, August 25th marked another successful Aero Park fundraiser golf outing and picnic.
Ron Krueger, former Watertown mayor and current commander of Pitterle-Beaudoin American Legion Post No. 189, was honored in a ceremony naming the Veteran’s Statue at Marine Corps League Aero Park after him. Wisconsin Representative John Jagler and Commandant Gary Stueber made the presentation.
A catered lunch consisting of pulled pork, pasta salad, potato salad, baked beans, Ingersoll Farms sweet corn, buns, pickles, cookies and beverages was enjoyed by all. The cash bar offered many cold drinks to the thirsty Marines and friends. During the picnic lunch, winners of the golf event were recognized and lucky raffle winners were announced. A silent and live auction of donated items helped raise additional funds. The grand prize awarded was a 50” Sceptre TV. All proceeds are for the ongoing maintenance and improvements at Marine Corps League Aero Park on Boomer Street.
A special donation bucket was set out to collect funds for MCL 349 member Tim Schlesner and his wife who were injured in a motorcycle accident while traveling in Cheyenne, WY. Picnic attendees had the opportunity to write a card or note of encouragement to Tim.
Thanks to all who donated, volunteered or participated in the Aero Park event this year.
