Commander’s Message Hello American Legion Family,

As we enter a new year with the hope and prayer that 2021 will be a yea where we can return to our normal way of life at the Post.

I wish to thank all for helping the Post survive and continue to be an American Legion Post dedicated to American Legion Programs,Principles, and Veterans. The Post will continue with the cooperation of all members to observe the present CDC, County, and State regulations they have put in place. There will continue to be changes as we return to a semblance of normal. We know the e-mail announcements the Post is sending has not reached everyone. If you have an email address and are not receiving the Post email, leave a note at the canteen with your name and correct email address so you can be brought up to date on any changes.

Just a reminder, door cards will be changed on January 1st, 2021. If you have not done so, please pay your dues now.

In the early spring, the Post will have our annual outside/yard clean-up and trimming, including our new lot added to our property. If you would like to volunteer, contact Jim Prosperi, coordinator.

This month, after a long overdue acknowledgment, I would like to name Kim Bowie as "Member of the Month". Kim has served the Post, Canteen, and Office in many ways but mostly by keeping our Canteen stocked with all that was ever needed. The amount saved due to her efforts and knowledge has been amazing. Thank you, Kim, for all you your efforts.

Stay safe and have a Happy New Year!

For God and Country,Richard Feldman, Commander

Happy New Year, Last month I was honored to be present with fellow veterans to receive a hand-made poster from Mrs. Ramirez's class from North-port K-8 school. It honored all veterans. Let us pray for and bless the young children of the future. As veterans of all faiths, we are people who never lose hope, even when faced with heart-breaking situations in life. We choose to show our honor, respect, and hope for the present and future through our convictions and faith, rather than be defeated. If you have an illness or any concerns , please contact me at the number below. I am very proud to
