private health insurance plans. Sliding fee for those who are

Camp Gordon Johnston Post 82 in Lanark Village is in dire need of
a new roof. Wind storms this past summer further damaged the
nearly 20 year old asphalt roof. We are asking for donations of
any amount to help defer the cost of a new metal roof. All funds
will be deposited into a separate Roof Replacement Account
until we reach the amount needed. Please make checks payable
to The American Legion Post 82 and note on the check Roof
Replacement. Checks can be dropped off at the Post or mailed to
P.O. Box 544, Carrabelle, FL 32322.
Our Post is very active in the community with the Tonyas Hope
Cancer Fund, Christmas for Nursing home veterans, Boys State and
Girls State programs, weekly Farmshare distribution site and
various other charitable fundraisers throughout the year. Please
help us continue our charitable work in a building with a sound
roof. Thank you for your support and generous donations.
