Official Statement of the William R. Witty American Legion Post 37
Our American Legion building is a location in which people gather and linger for official and social purposes. These actions pose challenges for physical distancing of employees, guests, and members, especially those at risk of severe illness from COVID-19. For these reasons, we will continue to do our part to ensure the safety of our American Legion community by remaining closed.
We are preparing to open by developing a COVID Preparedness Plan that complies with Minnesota OSHA Standards, MDH, and CDC guidelines in the workplace for customer facing businesses.
We are also completing the building improvement opportunities that were put in place while the building is vacant.
Finally, we are working with a consultant from the Small Business Development Center to create a business plan that is both sustainable and resilient if we should be required to close again.
This does not prevent our membership from continuing to serve the community in ways that allow physical distancing and align with the four pillars of the American Legion founded in 1919; Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation, National Security, Americanism, and Children & Youth.
Stay Safe,
05/17/2020

Greetings Legionnaires!
The Executive Board has decided for the health and safety of all members to postpone all Post meetings until the end of the COVID 19 Isolation order. The Executive Board will meet to discuss Gambling Lawful purpose expenses and Allowable expenses. They will also discuss the current House Committee status. We also have to have Our Officers nominations made prior to Monday April 13th at 5:00 PM.
If you are interested or know of someone who is interested in holding an officers position for Our Post please PM me or send an email to alps@hickorytech.net. The only position I know that needs filling is the Commander position.
We are working out a way to hold an election electronically so more will follow. Currently we need your nominations so don't wait. This is just for the Post 37 membership. You must be a current member to hold office.
Stay healthy and be safe always,

Greetings Legionnaires!
The newsletter was written and finalized before the COVID 19 Pandemic broke out. We have sadly closed Our Legion doors on Mar16th at 5:00 PM until we get the OK to reopen.
Several of us have been busy reorganizing the basements and cleaning out long over due shelves, boxes and closets. Thank you to Kris Sack who has been a leader in the reorganization. We have sold off Our frozen foods to pay off some bills. This will allow us to order fresh food once we reopen. The kegs have been untapped to stay fresh, the coolers will keep the beer fresh and liquor doesn’t seem to have an expiration date
Your Executive and House Committees are keeping busy and staying in touch by email and text messages. We are currently looking at how to hold meetings during this busy time of the year in Our Legion life. April typically is the month we have Nominations for Officers and committees. May is the month we have Our elections and June is when the new officers and committee members are installed. Like I’ve said before, it’s an exciting time to be a Legionnaire!
The Quarterly newsletter should be hitting the Website and your email shortly. If you know someone who hasn’t received it by the 10th of April please direct them to Our website or Face Book page.
I would ask that all Our members continue to watch Our Face Book page; comment, and share so the word gets spread when we do post items of interest or concern.
I am honored to be your Commander during this unprecedented time in Our history and look forward to sharing a cold adult beverage when this is all over. Please check up on each other with an email or phone call while we are in isolation to curb the spread of this terrible virus. I pray that Our Leaders continue to make the right calls and everyone come out of this safe and healthy!

All operations will cease at 6 PM tonight Monday March 16th and we will hopefully reopen on March 30th after looking at all recommendations by the County, State and Nation.

God Bless America!

The American Legion is many things to many people. For veterans, it is a place to gather in the camaraderie of shared experience. For members of the Auxiliary and Sons of the American Legion, it is a place to show gratitude for the service and sacrifice of our soldiers and their families. For non-profit organizations, it is a meeting place and source of financial support. For youth organizations, it is a place for service opportunities and a source of funding. For community members, it is a place to meet family and friends, old and new.
