Happy New Year American Legion Unit 716!!!

 Well, we survived 2020 and all the year’s craziness! Now, 2021 has already been ridiculously chaotic in the political world with the new U.S. President elect taking office on January 20th.

 Also, with the current COVID-19 guidelines shutdown being extended from the last holiday season due to the increasing cases and unfortunate deaths, we continue to practice safe recommendations from the health department by wearing masks, staying 6 feet apart from one another, washing our hands frequently, not gathering for non-essential events, etc.

 We are all grateful for all the Officers and Chairs that have stepped up and agreed to help out where needed. There isn’t much we can do this year, so far but I’m sure we are all hoping with the COVID-19 vaccine becoming available that soon we’ll be able to go back to “normal” again.
 Thank you to everyone who has renewed their dues and 1st Vice Mary Hernandez is reporting we’re at 83%. As of December 31, 2020, anyone who has not paid is considered overdue so please pay as soon as possible and if you have any questions with renewing online, dropping it off at the Post in the mail slot or mailing it in, feel free to ask me.

 Please check out the ALA DoC website for helpful info, especially for the End of the Year Chairmanship Reports due in the beginning of April - http://www.calegionaux.org/index.htm - If any of the Chairmen need help with the required cover sheet, filling out their forms and/or writing the supplemental in its required format, please contact me so we can make sure all your questions are answered before the due date.
 If anyone has any questions, suggestions and/or ideas, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
​

 Thank you,
Kelly Huff
ALA Unit 716 President
