12th District Council, Department of Ohio

Summer is still in full swing. We must renew our efforts to reach out to our homeless vets. Every day in Central Ohio, hundreds of them roam the streets---hot, lonely, hungry, dirty, needing a shower, without homes, despondent---abandoned. We have to help. These patriots risked life and limb for our country. Let's not turn our back on them. If you know of ANY homeless veteran in Reynoldsburg who desperately needs help, contact any one of our post officers, the
12th District Council Office  (Open M-W-F, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.)
at (614) 224-2900, or
any Central Ohio American Legion post.

MEETING LOCATION

The Reynoldsburg Post 798 regular monthly meeting is at the F.O.E. Eagles Club (#3261) located at 1623 Brice Road in Reynoldsburg (a block north of Rosehill Ave). All regularly scheduled monthly meetings are held here. All Legionnaires are invited to come.

The Eagles Club will gladly allow all members of the American Legion to enter an hour before the meetings. Just press the buzzer and state that you have come for the Legion meeting. Sgt-at-Arms McPherson will be there to ensure all Legionnaires are admitted.

Attendance for post officers is mandatory.

All other post members are also encouraged to attend and help the officers in their planning. Any qualifying veteran wishing to join is also quite welcome to attend and be a part of the largest, most effective veteran organization in the country.

If there are any questions. please contact Post Commander, Pete Margaritis at (614) 395-0387.

Thank You.

We Need YOU!

Post 798 is still looking for Legionnaires that are in good standing to fill the following positions:

• 2nd Vice Commander―Duties include participation in our post activities, liaison with other community veteran and civic groups, and helping us represent the Reynoldsburg post at the 12th District Council conferences.
• Sergeant-at-Arms―Duties include custodian of the colors, securing the meeting place, making sure proper decorum is maintained at meetings, and to ensure that no one attending our meeting remains a stranger.

Just recently, Post 798’s 2nd Vice Commander unfortunately had to resign his position because of work-related requirements. So we need an individual―a leader―to fill his position. Our 1st Vice Commander (and former Reynoldsburg Mayor) Bob McPherson is currently taking on the additional role of Sergeant-at-Arms, so we need that position filled as well.

Now is a great opportunity to get a detailed, inside look at what The American Legion does. It is a chance for you to become involved in Legion activities, and to actively participate in what we do, and the difference we make―to the Reynoldsburg community, the Central Ohio district, our state, and the nation.
