Cloud County Community College

June 7-9, 2024

This year’s Kansas American Legion College there will have a Hands-On Class dealing with mylegion.org being taught by a Member of the KALC Committee. If you are a Post Commander or Post Adjutant this is a prime opportunity to actually input and make changes to Members of your Post. PLEASE ensure you bring your laptop or iPad to get the full effect of the training.

We are working on Post Commander and Post Adjutant modules that hopefully be available by KALC time. We will try and incorporate them with the training that the committee will be conducting. Hopefully, we will have another VA Roundtable or Symposium. Everyone really enjoyed being able to ask a pinpoint question to the person that is the expert of that particular Division of The Veterans Hospital/Administration out of the Dole V.A. Medical Center and Veterans Service Center in Wichita.

The American Legion, Auxiliary, and SAL Members over the age of 21 are invited to attend the College. An enrollment coupon is provided below for your convenience. Cost of the College this year is $85.00 per person which includes Friday dinner, Saturday breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Concordia Post 76, and Sunday breakfast. In addition the enrollment fee includes air conditioned dorm housing at the College——attendees must bring their own sheets, pillow, pillow case, blanket, bath soap, towels and personal items. Those needing only meals will be $45 total.
