Attention Members of American Legion Post 114:
Out of an abundance of caution the American Legion meeting scheduled for May 17th has been canceled. This decision was made after consulting with several of our members, especially some of our more senior members; they were concerned about attending or would not be attending at all. This cancellation is in line with the canceling of district and Aux unit meetings.
Our most pressing issue is the nomination and election of officers, I have spoken with the Judge Advocate and we need to make sure this happens in our June 16th meeting. The Nominating Committee has almost completed a full slate of candidates for our positions. If you would like to be nominated for a position or make sure you’re on the slate contact Blair, Barry, Larry or me.
National and Department has canceled American League baseball for 2020, our post usually pays to support one team in this program. Locally the coaches are trying to save this summer youth program and are continuing to organize the teams for 2020. They would like the post to continue with the plan to hold a Fish Fry to generate funds for the program.
Our club room open today and there is been a great deal of work done to the building, cleaning, fixing, replacing and painting; Not only to the club but also the Legion Hall. This work has been done using the bartenders, Brandon and just a few individuals. As soon as the virus danger dies down we will be having some bigger work days to continue on this process.
The last two finance reports will be prepared and available for review by Legion members at the post.
