FUNDRAISING QUESTIONS I would like to do this fundraiser and sell this item with The American Legion name and/or emblem CAN I DO THAT?

WAYS TO DO THAT Special order items thru Emblem Sales –Sell the product as a fundraiser (prices are generally less than ad-specialty company products)

2 WAYS TO DO THAT 1. Use an existing American Legion licensee. A & A Engraving Engraved gold-plated rifles & pistols great for raffles Hobie J. Gourmet Sauces Three types of TAL barbecue sauce Worlds Finest Chocolates Candy bars

2 WAYS TO DO THAT 2.Someone may apply for a license to sell their product with our emblem and name Should have a broad appeal, marketable to many Not a quick process Allow time Many required approvals
