POST COMMANDER'S MESSAGE

Greetings,

This year we are nominating Cliff Bergstresser for Post Commander. Come out and vote for Cliff. 


I need to step aside to be considered for Commander or Western Maryland Region. The WMR Commander is dual hated as a Department Vice Commander. The Ferocious Four! Region 4 stretches from Sykesville in the east and Oakland, MD in the west.


We encourage as many Legionnaires, Sons and Auxiliary to attend. Changes to meeting locations will be posted on www.post295.org.

JOIN THE AMERICAN LEGION
