Please come out and support your Post by voting in the new officers!  I’m sure that the candidates you elect will do an outstanding job for our Post and the American Legion.

Memorial Day activities will be posted on the Post bulletin board once they are finalized.

Memorial Day is fast approaching, which begins the 101 days of summer.  Please be mindful of summer safety concerns, i.e., driving, water and boating safety.  We want all our members safe and well!

Canteen Comments

Elections will be held the day of our meeting, the first Tuesday in May.  Please come out and support our organization by voting!

There will be a Mother’s Day breakfast on Sunday, 9 May, where all mothers accompanied by a paying escort will eat free.

The SAL is in need of 15 new members by 10 May to obtain our 100% goal.  Please see your Post officers if you have not renewed or you would like to join.  Remember, Legionnaires can join for $5, which is our cost, and aids the Post, District, State, and National.

Rick Hawthorne, Commander

I would like to thank all our patrons for the support they’ve given the canteen and hope that it will even get better!  We will continue to bring specials and events to our patrons.

Friday, 16 Apr, 1800:  Bacardi specials, promo gifts such as hats, shirts, key rings, etc.  Finger food will be served.
