Our new year in the ALA has begun. I know many units give out the Halloween Safety Coloring Books, they are available from Emblem Sales at emblem.legion.org. but you need to get your order in soon as they go very quickly. You can also download them from the ALA national website and print your copies. Suggestions to give to your local schools or citywide recreation centers. They also have patriotic comic books.
