Members of the John E. Jacobs American Legion Post 68 thank the greater Leland community for their
outstanding support of the second annual “Tee it Up for Veterans”; golf tournament held on November 7 th
at Magnolia Greens Golf Course, Leland. Despite the overcast and rainy conditions, the support
provided by golfers, volunteers, and members was terrific. Net proceeds exceeded those from last year’s
event. These funds allow the Post to aid local Veterans and their families, conduct programs for students
in local schools, support the local JROTC, participate in Wreaths Across America, and provide disaster
relief, as recently undertaken in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. This event would not have been
possible without the generosity of this community, and for that, the Legion is enormously grateful!

To learn more about how veterans can join our organization or what we bring to our veterans and the
community, visit https://ncpost68.org/. Post 68 meets at 6 pm every third Thursday in the Blossoms
Restaurant Banquet Room (1800 Tommie Jacobs Drive, Leland, NC). For those who want to participate,
members gather at 4:30 pm in Blossoms Restaurant for dinner and a social hour preceding the meeting.
The next Post meeting is scheduled for December 19 th .
