CANDY FOR THE TROOPS – – Abby Dowd (center), a senior and president of the Johns Creek High School Spanish Club delivers another box of candy for Post 201’s Boxes for the Troops program. During the past three years, the JCHS Spanish Club has donated some 600 lbs of candy which has been shipped to members of the armed forces serving overseas. Receiving the candy on behalf of the Post are Legion members Ralph Jordan (left) and Jim Davis (right). The sweet treats were collected through donations made to the Spanish Club during their annual trunk or treat event. “It’s our way of showing appreciation to the men and women for their service and defending our freedom,” Abby said. Members of the Post estimate they have shipped more than 13,000 boxes to the troops during the past 20+ years the Post has maintained the program.
