Web Usage
Have a look through this link (Click Here! for PDF) or (Click here for word document) regarding web usage and data transfer since the beginning of the web site in late 2008 through February 2011. Update: Click here for word document on web usage through July 2011. Note that in the top graph, we already have as many "hits" as all of 2010.

Coon Valley American Legion Jackets
Coon Valley American Legion Jackets are available for sale. Please come to the meeting and purchase one. If you can not make a meeting contact an Officer and we will work on getting one to you. At least one member would like to order a jacket that is "long" so it will fit their arm length. If there is anyone else that may be interested please let Michele Stahl know and we will see what a special order would cost.
Polo Shirts
There is some interest from people that would be interested in purchasing some of the blue polo shirts. Please let Michele Stahl know if you are interested.
