General Meeting June 20 – Important

GENERAL MEETING

Thursday, June 20, 2019

7:30 p.m. at the Branch

Agenda:

Discuss and and table for approval a motion to proceed immediately with a Building Renovation Campaign with the goal of raising $75,000.00 for capital improvements to the Branch over the next 12 months.

Objectives:

1. To install an automatic entrance door system, off the lounge onto the back parking lot. This will entail extending the fire escape stairs and upgrading the concrete pad and ramp to meet code. The installation of this new entrance will facilitate our members and patrons with an on-grade entrance, as well as provide accessibility to our wheelchair patrons.

2. To relocate and renovate the Branch kitchen to the downstairs boardroom. This will allow us to prepare and serve meals during specific days and hours to our Members and Patrons. We need to develop an additional income stream for the Branch to sustain our future. We believe adding food options at the Branch will attract more members / general public to the Branch and perhaps increase our membership.

Please Note: It is our intent to start the actual renovations ONLY when the funds are in our bank account, no interim financing will take place.

Substance abuse help for veterans and anyone needing help.

Many veterans struggle with stress and mental illness, which increases their risk for developing substance use disorders. DrugRehab.com is a free web resource that provides information and support to people fighting substance abuse and addiction.

Our goal is to spread awareness of substance abuse and to be an informational resource for those impacted by alcohol and drug dependence.

Attention Members!

To our members.

It is imperative that we have a good turnout of members to our General Meetings. If we don’t have enough productive meetings, we risk losing our charter.

If we want to keep our Legion, we must support our executive.

Thank you
