COMMUNITY NEWS

January 2025: Due to structural damage on the banquet side of the building all hall activities are canceled until further notice. When visiting our club (right-hand entrance) please be mindful of other guests who are waiting for the reduced number of tables and seating that remain available. Carry-out and orders to-go are available for all times the kitchen is open. We need everyone's support and patience as we rebuild. Thank you!

 

Please see this news article in the Oxford Leader newspaper for more information on this unfortunate event.

 

Also, an subsequent update in the Oxford Leader newspaper from the January 15 issue here for the latest news on our situation.

 

 

President Donald J. Trump signs S. 504, the Let Everyone Get Involved in Opportunities for National Service (LEGION) Act Tuesday, July 30, 2019, in the Oval Office of the White House.

 

Now that the legislation has been signed, The American Legion’s eligibility criteria immediately changes from seven war eras to two: April 6, 1917, to Nov. 11, 1918, and Dec. 7, 1941 to a time later determined by the federal government. No other restrictions to American Legion  membership are changed.

 

National Commander Brett Reistad pointed out that existing American Legion membership applications are in the process of being updated but can still be used. “In the meantime, I recommend that prospective Legionnaires and recruiters write ‘LEGION Act’ in the eligibility date section of American Legion membership applications if they fall outside the previous war eras,” Reistad said. “The larger pool of veterans now eligible for The American Legion will also open their family members to eligibility in the Sons of the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary as well.”
