American Legion Post 75 adjutant Rick Ward and American Legion Auxiliary Unit 75 president Carolyn Vasta (at left) presented a plaque to Gloucester Ruritan Club president Jackie Beyea at the club’s April meeting at the Courthouse Restaurant. The plaque was given in appreciation for the Ruritans’ active participation in the American Legion Family Youth Programs. Ward recognized that even though the club could not hold any of its fundraising projects the last two years because of Covid restrictions, it never wavered in its sponsorship of Gloucester youth to attend the Boys State, Girls State and Law Cadet programs. Legion members also taking part in the presentation (not pictured) included Auxiliary Secretary and Historian Julie Coates and Dr. David Workman, along withwife Drenna and son David.
