Amador County – The Jackson Rancheria and Hotel recently donated $2,100 in proceeds from the Divine Affairs Wine Tasting event to the American Legion Post 108. “We’re not usually the recipient of a donation. In fact, we’re usually on the giving side of things,” said Al Lennox, President and Chief Executive of post 108, located in Martell. Lennox said the Rancheria contacted his group and asked if they had any special services they could provide utilizing a donation. “The funds are earmarked for veterans and families in need in our area,” said Lennox, adding: “Basically, “if veterans express that they need help, whether it be a $200 donation or $1000 donation, we’ll be there.” The award was presented to Lennox in late May by Jackson Rancheria Special Events Director Ron Olivero. The 1,400 member Sutter Creek Post supports both local and national veterans as well as being very active in the community. They provide ambulance service to both Amador and Calaveras counties, and support a Scout Troop, two baseball teams, and numerous other youth programs. Olivero and the Jackson Rancheria said they are proud to support American Legion Post 108. Story by Alex Lane This email address is being protected from spambots.
