The American Legion Post 135 is hosting their 2nd  Annual Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball to raise funds for the Warrior Lift. The Masquerade Ball will take place on Saturday, February 13 from 6-10pm at the American Legion Post 135 located at 1108 Bull Street.

“Last year the American Legion Post 135 on Bull Street created an event that would be socially distanced, open to the public and bring the community together. This event helps pay for the recently constructed elevator in our historic post home and provides access to our less mobile members and visitors,” shares event coordinator Jennifer Fortenberry. “With King and Queen Carnivale crowns, raffle items, Deejay Savannah Steve and Betty Bomber Gumbo - we hope a festive event will boost morale while supporting our legion.”

Post 135 Past Commander Bob Letcher states, “For many years our wounded warriors and senior members were not able to access the building, we didn’t have a ramp or an elevator. After 12 years of dreaming of a solution and fundraising for years prior, we started construction three years ago and have a quarter of the loan paid. This event helps pay the note back.”
