2023 Post Calendar
Our Post has something for everyone and our monthly calendar is full of activities, with emphasis on the "4 Pillars of the American Legion", Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation, National Security, Americanism, and Children & Youth. Each activity is a success because of a dedicated and hardworking local membership. Volunteers are the backbone of this type of organization. The work is rewarding and the sense of family is strong and genuine.
