"Our mission is to honor those who served us, serve those who honored us, and shape the character of America’s future"

All members of American Legion Post 245:

The existing Bylaws are those approved in April 2002.  They have never been revised.   Washington Department has made numerous organizational and operational changes over the past seven years that are not reflected in the bylaws.  The post has made numerous revisions to organization and procedure that were never picked up in our bylaws.   Because the existing bylaws were so out of date and because of a need to more properly organize the contents of the bylaws, a complete revision was in order.  While content of the existing bylaws was used as reference there was no practical way to do a markup.

On our American Legion Post 245’s internet web site is a copy of our proposed update to the By-Laws.  Please take a moment to read the file.  At our monthly membership meeting at the Post Hall on February 18, 2010, we will vote to adopt these By-Laws.  Any comments or amendments to the proposed By-Laws will be brought to the floor at that time.  If you wish to comment electronically, please provide that written comment to the Post’s Senior Vice Commander, John Zantek, via email to John Zantek (john@zantek.net), for inclusion at the February meeting.
