Summary

The American Legion presented checks totaling several thousand dollars to local groups, including $2,500 to the Harrison Music Boosters for the high school color guard and $2,000 to the Harrison Scholar Club program, plus a recurring $2,500 monthly donation to the mayor's fund.

Jean, representing the American Legion, presented multiple grants to local organizations at the Sept. 15 City Council meeting, including a $2,500 check for the Harrison Music Boosters to help cover a larger floor covering as the color guard moves up a competition class. "We have a check for you for 2500 dollars," Jean said when presenting the gift.

Brandon McPhee, who described the Scholar Club program at Harrison Junior High, said the initiative (branded Wildcat Sage College) was created to keep top students engaged in the district and to provide enrichment and networking. The Legion provided $2,000 to support the program as it enters its third season. Jean also noted a $2,500 donation to St. John the Baptist School's volleyball program and a continuing $2,500 monthly contribution to the mayor's fund. These donations were presented during the council's presentations segment and recognized by council members.
