The Building Committee met April 23rd and looked at four options.

Option 1 was to put the building back as it was before the fire. This would result in having the building declared a total loss because it exceeded the coverage of the insurance policy.

Option 2 was to build a smaller building on the lot. After payment from the insurance company this would still leave us in the hole.

Option 3 was to sell the property and move to a different location. This plan too after payment from the insurance company would leave us in the hole

Option 4 was to rebuild the building, and redesign the interior. This plan is leaves us owing nothing except the $1,000.00 deductible and the current note at the bank.

The Building Committee's six members agreed that Option 4 was the best plan.

On April 26th the Executive Committee studied the four options and also agreed that Option 4 is the best option for the Post. The vote was 7 for 1 against.

On Tuesday May 1, 2012 the Post Meeting will take place at 7:30 pm at the Eagles.

A presentation will be made explaining the four options.

This is a very important meeting and I urge you to attend.

Thank you,

Mike Landkamer

American Legion Extension Institute now available online

The American Legion’s official training program for officers, members, Legion College applicants and those who simply want to expand their knowledge of the nation’s largest veterans service organization is now available online.

The American Legion Extension Institute has been rewritten, updated, streamlined and enhanced with videos, digital photos, clickable links, a historical timeline and additional features. To register and take the course, visit www.legion.org/alei. The program is designed to take less than two hours to complete. It is divided into six sections, with a quiz at the end of each, followed by a final exam.

The sections closely follow the Four Pillars of service for the organization. They include:

	History & Organization
	Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation
	National Security
	Americanism
	Children & Youth

Upon completion, a participant must pass a final online exam to receive a digital certificate of recognition; a lapel/cap pin will also be delivered to those who successfully complete the course. The names of those who have passed will be recorded and indexed at The American Legion National Headquarters. Graduates will have the option to click a box upon completion to recognize their accomplishment on The American Legion national website at www.legion.org.

The online course is $4.95 for members of The American Legion and Sons of The American Legion. The registration fee is $9.95 for non-members. Payment can be accepted securely and conveniently on the course registration page.

The American Legion Extension Institute online training program replaces the series of printed booklets that had been printed and sold through National Headquarters.
