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.

Hello Post family and friend
I have found out that the fire was in the bar area witch
is a total, but the good news is that it was just smoke damage it the rest of
