The Post Newsletter was mailed on May 16th. It was mailed late due to a delay at the printers. From what we can tell, many members have not received it yet. We checked with the Post Office yesterday and they said it has been distributed. At this point all we can do is wait and see.
We have been experiencing increasing difficulty with USPS, with increasing fees, losing mail trays, changing procedures without notice and other frustrations. We believe that now is the time to go digital. This will reduce the mail load considerably. Those without an email will continue to receive a hard copy. What we need from our members is your email address! Legion and SAL members, please go to mylegion.org and update your profile to include your email address. Auxiliary members can go to alaforveterans.org and log in or register to see and update your profile. Extra copies will be available in the Canteen too. For now, we will continue to do quarterly newsletters. We will be looking to make a monthly online newsletter too. Thank you to our newsletter editor, Evelyn Navarre, and Joe Navarre for all the work they put into keeping us up to date via the newsletter!!

On Memorial Day, May 27, American Legion Family members will honor the men and women who fought for our freedoms. Please take a moment this Memorial Day to pause while you remember these heroes, and wear your poppy with pride.
