Curt was a VERY longtime member of American Legion Post 795 as well as being a past Commander and serving as Chaplain for many years. Rest in Peace my friend. Commander Tom Millham

Our beloved Curt peacefully passed into the Lord’s loving embrace last night. He received the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick and the Apostolic Pardon. We were blessed to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet together.

A Special Thank You to Jim and Lois Coalwell!

After 33 incredible years, Jim and Lois Coalwell have decided to retire from organizing the El Dorado County Certified Farmers Market at American Legion Post 795.

For more than three decades, their hard work, dedication, and commitment have brought local farmers, vendors, and the community together every summer. Their efforts have made the Farmers Market a wonderful tradition here in South Lake Tahoe.

To show our appreciation, American Legion Post 795 proudly presented Jim and Lois with a commemorative plaque honoring their 33 years of service to our Post and the community.

Jim and Lois, thank you for everything you have done! Your dedication, generosity, and countless hours of hard work have made a lasting impact on our community.

We wish you both a wonderful and well-deserved retirement! You will always be part of the American Legion Post 795 family.

Please join us in thanking Jim and Lois for 33 amazing years!
