The 2025 10th District convention in Buffalo is in the books. Marland Ronning de-installs commander Kristy Ann Janigo, installs the incoming officers then installs Legion Commander William Gordon and SAL Commander Tom Olson.

Friday night convention banquet started the weekend off. Great food had by all.

Shout out to Buffalo legion family for hosting this year's convention.

From the Commander, Kristy Janigo

It’s been an honor serving this year as the Mighty 10th District American Legion commander. I did not do this alone. I had much support from day one on my ceremonial swearing in, to the many speaking engagements, rallies, events, and one on one discussions with members of the American Legion Department of Minnesota. And the support of my husband Chip Janigo.

I had no intentions pursuing leadership in the organization when I originally joined Osseo/Maple Grove American Legion Post 172 in 2020. It simply evolved, and it was right. Much love to the entire Legion family. Thank you!
