By Tim Engstrom

WALKER — The Department Commander’s Testimonial Dinner takes place Saturday, April 5, at Northern Lights Casino & Hotel.
Social hour starts at 5 p.m. There is a 6 p.m. dinner, with program and music to follow.

The annual testimonial dinner is a chance to show appreciation for the travel and hard work the department commander has done in the past year. Commander Carl Moon shifted his event up to early spring because, he said, people get busy with summer plans.

The buffet menu will be baked chicken, barbecue ribs with wild rice, au gratin potatoes, California vegetable medley and green bean almandine. The meal includes a dinner roll, mixed green salad, brownie, coffee, tea and water.To reserve your seat, send a $40 check payable to Zimmerman Post 560. Reservation must be received by March 21.

Please mail the check to American Legion Post 560, Attn: Bob Lundgren, P.O. Box 123, Zimmerman, MN 55398.
