A Message From the Post Commander

Illinois Boys State 2016:

The next four months (April - July) will determine the level of competency at which we will be able to operate. Our objectives are as follows: Elect and install a complete slate of officers. Approve a complete revision of our bylaws. Establish a financial budget for fiscal year 2017. Responsibly increase our membership. The ground work in these areas has already been established by four competent standing committees. We strongly suggest that you attend as many of the next few meetings as you can to fulfill the required election and bylaw approval processes. Thank all of you fellow legionnaires for your assistance over the past two years. All comments, positive as well as negative, were taken seriously.

God bless all of you and your families

Jack T. Smith, Commander
American Legion Post 246
