LegLinks_LegionBan4.jpg PURPOSE OF THE ORGANIZATIONS         
The American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary are the world’s largest nonprofit organization, that were founded to serve the needs of American Veterans and their families. The members of these two organizations are from all age groups, races, and walks of life, which have joined together in the fellowship of giving. The primary philosophy of the volunteers, is that of helping those in need. The first words of their Preambles are “For God and Country.” Their members believe in the ideals and principles of America’s founding Fathers. They pledge to foster patriotism, preserve and defend the Constitution, promote allegiance to God and Country, and to uphold the basic principles of Freedom of religion, Freedom of expression and Freedom of choice. The programs of the American Legion and the Auxiliary provide assistance, education and financial support for Veterans and their communities. Their main focus is helping to create a better society, particularly for the Nation’s citizens of the future, “Our Children and Youth.”


IT'S NOT THE PRICE YOU PAY TO BELONG, IT'S THE PRICE YOU PAID TO BE ELIGIBLE!!

    FROM THE COMMANDER ROBERT VAUGHAN

    I would like to thank everyone who help with the District Spring Convention, and with the Easter egg hunt. I would also like to thank the Riders that help on the R2R ride. Also everyone that came to the post to help with the R2R. On April 9th the members that came to the meeting voted to sell the building. It was 30 yes and 9 no. Now we have to wait tell Department to let us know if we can go thru with the sell. After we hear from Department then we can start looking for a new place. This is my last month as your commander. I would like to thank everyone who help me. On May 7th we will be electing new officers for the post. Come out and vote for who you would like to see as your new officers. And on May 28th we will be doing the installation of the new officers.

On the first Friday of each month there will be no dance, but the Post will be open from 4pm till everyone goes home. We will be having a pot-luck dinner. All those who wish to share a meal together may bring a covered dish or dessert to share with everyone. Everybody is welcome.


DD 214's
Our Post is required to have on file the DD 214 or other proof of eligibility on 90% or more of all Legion members. This is a requirement of the IRS in order to keep our non-profit status. Although we have many DD 214's on file, we have been lax in getting the DD 214's from most of the transfers to us that signed up through the National Direct Mail Solicitation. If you are one of the members who signed up through National, we are requesting you send us a DD 214 or other proof of eligibility. Mail to: American Legion Post 121, PO Box 2276, Waco,Tx 76703. Also, all other members who do not have a DD 214 on file at our Post are requested to send us a copy.

NO SMOKING IN HALL/NO PETS ALLOWED ON POST PROPERTY
The General Membership voted to ban smoking in all three hall room areas during rentals and dances. This decision was based on several reasons, mostly being the safety of the members and guests from a fire. Smoking is still permitted in the bar and the shuffle board areas, where the bartender can supply ashtrays. Due to liability concerns and the safety of all members and guest, General Membership voted to not allow any pets/animals of any type on post property at anytime. This includes the pavilion area.
