Any female Legionnaire who is in good standing as a post member is welcome to participate in our meetings, fundraisers, veterans community programs, educational programs, and social events. As an Honorary member, you will not have to pay our membership fee, but not be able to vote. So come hang out with the girls because after all, “Girls just wanna have fun!”

Entering the hot summer days!! Be sure to stay hydrated and keep an eye on each other for heat related impact!!
Reminder to all Dogs are allowed in the Tiki Bar and beach. They must be on a leash and under positive control. No exceptions!! We will be posting this on our Facebook page as well to ensure the community enjoying our facilities and activities are aware of our regulations. We had a minor incident so we are trying to prevent further issues.
We have a busy schedule for the summer with events and work. We will be posting a volunteer sign-up sheet in the canteen. If you are able to assist, please leave your name and contact information & available dates.

Crabbing at the American Legion Pier Ensure that if you place a crab trap at our pier it has your name on the upper part of the string so it is readable. Anyone removing crabs from someone else’s trap without their authorization will be immediately suspended from our post. Minimum suspension is 90 days. If they are not members of our post we reserve the right to press charges for trespassing and theft of property. Please when the canteen is open you may not bring personal alcohol for consumption by the beach. No coolers or drinks are allowed at the post when we are open for business.
