(North Dakota Monitor) – Former University of North Dakota football coach Dale Lennon is about to take a new spring recruiting trip in April, not for players, but to raise awareness and donations for the North Dakota Military Gallery.

Lennon, executive director for the State Historical Society of North Dakota Foundation, said the 48-stop tour across the state – kicking off in Grand Forks on April 6 – will inform communities about the new Military Gallery and connect them with ways to make donations or get involved.

“It’s very grassroots,” Lennon said. “If there are five (people) there, that’s great. I’d be happy with that, but there might be 50.”

He said some veterans organizations and communities hosting his tour stops are planning other events around his visit with some providing free meals or other activities.
