Legion Family – The American Legion Post 1207

Announcements

At the General Meeting on 9/16/2025 the Membership voted to pass new changes to the ByLaws. You can read or download them here: Bylaws – The American Legion Post 1207

We also elected Fernando Delgato as our Junior Vice, you can see a list of Officers here: Officers – The American Legion Post 1207 Fernando was the Junior Vice last year and did a wonderful job. A scheduling conflict kept him from running this year but that has since been resolved. The Junior Vice is both extremely busy and extremely vital to a Post as they are both the Poppy Chairman to help us raise money to help Veterans outside the Post and responsible for planning Legion events, such as the Corn Boil, Feather Party, Trunk or Treat (Planned this year by Ricky Smith in lieu of a Junior Vice), and so forth. Welcome back Fernando!

What a Privilege to Meet These Two

A 70 and a 50 year member of the American Legion, the 70 year member, a WWII and Korean War Vet, will be 100 years young in August.

What an Accomplishment

The Post is honoring several members who have been members of The American Legion for 50 or more continuous years this evening. You are welcome to honor them with us at 6pm with coffee and cookies.

Poppies

Thanks to our volunteers and the generosity of our neighbors, the Post raised $3266.47 in donations while distributing poppies at Gray’s on Highcrest and Valli on State. None of the money collected while distributing poppies is allowed to be spent to benefit the Post, but it’s all used to benefit outside Veteran’s charities.

Thank you to our neighbors who were so generous.
