Near the end of the September 19 Alexander council meeting Adjutant and Service Officer Glen Davee, of the Alexander American Legion Post 28, Ar, presented Alexander Mayor Paul Mitchell with a plaque. The plaque reads, “In appreciation of Mayor Paul Mitchell and his City Council Members. A special thank you for allowing us the use of the city property.”
During the July 16, 2018 council meeting council members approved Mitchell’s request to allow the newly formed American Legion Post use of the Community Center on Main Street. The Community Center is the former City Hall.
“On behalf of Post 28 and Commander of the Post (Ken Ferrell) we’d like to present this plaque to the Mayor of Alexander for allowing us the use of the building for our business,” Davee said while handing Mitchell the plaque. “It save us so much money.”
Prior to presenting Mitchell the plaque Davee said, “As a non-profit it’s extremely hard for us to make business … any little break we get is so much more beneficial for us than you can ever imagine. And it’s the benevolence of our communities that keep us going.”
Mitchell thanked the Legion members and said he will hang the plaque on the wall in his office. With Davee were two other members of Alexander American Legion Post 28, Ar; past Commander Roger Gray and Harold Timmerman, who is also a member of the city council.
