From the Commander: 

Hello and welcome to the American Legion,
Post 197 Web Site.

As you know, 2009 was a rough year for the Post.
I'd like to thank all the volunteers, Aux, Sal for their help when I needed it.

I'd also like to thank my Officers for their dedication.
They have certainly made my job a lot easier!

Two things I will be focusing on this year:
Increased attendance at Post meetings and increased volunteerism.

I really would like to see more members attending the meetings. 

Talk to you soon,

Bernie Hoyland, Cmdr
