Thank you for visiting our new Internet Site for American Legion Post 266 located in sunny Sarasota, Florida. Check back often as updates can happen daily. We are making an effort to include new features as soon as possible.
Take a look around and relax for a while.
I would like to thank all the volunteers who came out and supported our annual Fruitville Clam Bake. Once again, it gets better every year. A special thanks to our Past Commander Lew Bryan for organizing it all. With summer comin, our outside functions will be coming to an end. We will restart sometime in September.
The Friday night dinners are going good so come out and get a great meal with music to follow. Participation is important for us to continue providing dinners and entertainment.
On membership, we are close but not there yet, so, if you have not yet paid your dues, please do so before May 30, 2012. It is important to get to 100%. The new 2013 cards will be here around the second week of June. So all you Early Birds, come out and get them.
On Election of our Officers, our final nominations and vote of Officers will be held on the first Tuesdayregular meeting of May. All who can, please attend. Your VOTE counts.
In closing, thanks to all the volunteers and members for supporting all our functions and making them a great success.
For God and Country,
Ron Neipert Jr., Commander
Well, it's that time again. Closing of the books in May, so if you haven't paid your dues for 2012, please do so NOW.
In June, we will be going to the State Convention in Orlando. When we return, we will have the 2013 membership cards. So don't miss out on getting yours early for your Early Bird Stamp.
Our Children's Easter Party was a great success and a big thanks to the Easter Bunny for stopping by.
Don't miss our Luau on April 28, 2012 from noon until 6:00PM. Tiki Bar opens with music by the Nay Burz Band. There will be shot specials and 16 oz. Bud and Bud Light for $2.00, also a 50/50 and a raffle for a 32 inch flat screen TV. Hope to see you all there.
For God and Country,

Greetings Members:
I hope this report finds all of our members and their families doing well.
We have had a quiet Spring with not a lot to report.
Our Second nominations and vote for next year's Officers will be held at our May meeting with results to be posted in our next report.
The best news I can Pass forward is that at long last our brick order has been placed. I feel that once our members see these beautiful bricks, others will be eager to submit an order for their own. I cannot think of a better way to honor a parent, family member or past member.
In closing, for those of you who have not yet renewed your membership, please do so by May 1st.
We are close to 90% currently; Let's achieve 100% for the second year in a row. I am confident we can accomplish this goal.
For God and Country,
Alan King, S.A.L. Commander
