Thank you to Post members for renewing their 2020 membership
Dear Reader, the following correspondence is a letter from Post 1st Vice President Richard A. Mecabe to Post members thanking them for renewing their membership for the 2020 American Legion Fiscal Year. Courtesy of Post 1st Vice President Richard A. Mecabe.
Dear Legionnaire,
Your 2020 membership card (July 1 – June 30) is enclosed. Thank you for renewing your membership and for your continued support.
By renewing your membership, we are able to continue supporting fellow veterans in need. Throughout the year, we hosted a barbeque and visited the veterans for the holidays from the Veterans’ Nursing Homes in Stony Brook and Northport. We have also assisted in the Veteran Stand-Downs for homeless veterans and we have contributed to Scholarship awards, Boy’s State Program, and have given many Citizenship Awards. This is only a few of our accomplishments.
