American Legion of Coop City was so busy over the weekend distributing PPE and giving out food produce to members of the community. We will get out of the pandemic together, but there are responsibilities for all of us to help out those who have paid their quotas to encourage a healthy community- the veterans, the seniors, the widows (ers), the orphans etc

AMERICAN LEGION ACTIVITIES ARE ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Following my midweek message of last week, I want to reiterate here that with reference to the ban being placed on public gatherings across the city/state/nation, all scheduled and planned American Legion of Co-op City activities are placed on hold until further notice. These events, which will not be limited to the American Legion but the American Legion Auxiliary functions, will include all regularly scheduled monthly meetings, the forthcoming Memorial Day Celebration and the purported 50thAnniversary Dinner of Post 1871. I do understand that some raffle tickets were already sold out while some booklets were sent to individuals by mails, I want to advise that raffle sales will not be affected but the drawing of the raffles will be shifted to a later date that will be announced to the general public to determine our winners. As we all know, winners do not need to be present at the time of drawing.



In a time like this, we have to come to term with reality and accept that this Coronavirus pandemic is real and no verified and established solution had been suggested for now. All the constituted authorities are doing across the globe are mere speculations. However, we hope a better alternative means to curb the spread of COVID-19 would surface soonest. Nonetheless, the more the capacity to testing increases, the more the incidence of the disease that is being accounted for. So, let us pay attention to the local news and adhere to the simple and basic rules of social distancing and stay-at-home order. It is very important.



It is good for everyone to know that social distancing is just about physical gathering and has nothing to do with social connection. So, during this period of physical individuality, do not negate the idea of social networking especially through several other measures of engagement. I also want to appeal to the comrades and their families that as you observe the basic rules of personal hygiene at home, if you feel you are not doing so well over few days and things are not getting better, do not keep it to yourself.



In the stead of self-management in case of incident, kindly speak up by reaching out to a comrade, especially for several of our comrades that are in that age bracket that are prone to the disease, or live by themselves. American Legion is here to serve you. Your Commander (TOBA-3473276288) and other executive board members to include the Adjutant (TONY-9173284565), Chaplain (Lawson-6463456223) and Finance Officer (Bill-9179409147) are all on hands to serve you amongst several other members that are ready to show camaraderie.
