Update - May 2011
The Building Remodeling Committee presented the proposed plans to Legion members at the May 18, 2011 meeting. The members of Post 202 voted unanimously to adopt the remodeling plans and to proceed with the next step which is meeting with a banker and contractor to work out final plans so the remodeling can begin.
Update - April 2011
After several informative and enlightening meetings with contractors, the Building Remodeling Committee is eager to present the proposed plans to Legion members for review at the April 20 meeting. The membership will have a vote at the May meeting on whether or not to adopt the plans.
We encourage all members to show your support for the remodeling project by submitting your pledges and donations to the Building Remodeling Fund. Thank you to Al Price for making the first pledge! To make a pledge contact Commander Rick Kitchen at Commander@americanlegionpost202.org.

As the seasons pass us by, it is important to remember our main goal as an American Legion Post is our duty to provide a home for today’s veterans. This past half century, the walls of Post 202 have honored the days of our members who served during WWII. We now must provide a home for today’s veterans. We have been talking about remodeling our building for the past year. In the coming weeks, final plans will be presented for approval.
The remodel will include a new office, updates to the bar, renovations of the memorial room, a new entrance and most importantly an Honor Library as a tribute to members from WWII to the present. The Honor Library will be a room of tranquil reverence where the story of each member and the service they performed for our country is honorably told. The memorial room will be transformed into a space where members could hold weddings or memorial services. .
