Small Games of Chance Hearing

On May 5, 2011, the State House of Representatives Gaming Oversight Committee held a hearing on some of the small games of chance bills. Numerous groups including the VFW and American Legion were invited by the Gaming Committee to testify in favor of HB 169.

State Adjutant John Brenner spoke as State Veterans Commission Chairman and as VFW State Adjutant. Lititz Springs VFW Post 1463 Commmander Joel Ellis was invited to speak about Post 1463's community support, and how we rely on small games earnings to make donations to the community. Joel presented the Post's award-winning Community Service Books to demonstrate the amount of effort Post 1463 puts forth in community service as well as the impact that one post can have through small games earnings.
