Hello Everybody,
We will no longer hold an executive meeting every month. We will have an executive meeting, at the call of the Commander, only when necessary.The S.A.L. Appreciation Dinner is back! On Saturday, September 11th at 7:00 PM, food will be provided free by the S.A.L. (kitchen help needed!). Come join the party to praise the people that make it all happen at Post 37.
Until next we meet, we will always be the “Sons”.For God and Country,Richard GrimesCommander2009-2010

Preamble to the S.A.L. National Constitution
Proud possessors of a priceless heritage, we male descendants of veterans of the Great Wars, associate ourselves together as "Sons of The American Legion" for the following purposes: To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate a true spirit of Americanism; to preserve the memories of our former members and the associations of our members and our forefathers in the Great Wars; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation; to combat the autocracy of both the classes and masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and good will on earth; to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our friendship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness; to adopt in letter and spirit all of the great principles for which The American Legion stands; and to assist in carrying on for God and Country.
S.A.L. Friday Night Meat Draw
Proceeds from the S.A.L. Friday Night Meat Draw are donated to Teach the Children, Youth Welfare programs and American Legion programs. So come join the fun as we spin the wheel for charity and fresh meat. A large selection of meat is available for you to choose from.
This is how it works: you buy a numbered ticket for $1, the S.A.L. spins the wheel and the lucky number wins the meat. Only 30 tickets are sold per spin (pretty good odds). You may purchase up to five chances per spin. The will be 5-10 spins, depending on the crowd and participation. It’s a meat blast!
