To The Entire Legion, Son’s Squadron, and Auxiliary Family,

Enclosed is our yearly donation mailer which is sent to all property owners in Avalon/Stone Harbor NJ. We are reaching out to our members per email at this time.

We ask for your consideration to assist our Prestigious Post in maintaining and securing the high cost of operating expenses, which we address yearly approximately totals a grand sum of over $50,000.00.

Yes, it’s quite difficult to navigate as the cost of Insurance’s, utilities, operating and maintaining heating and cooling systems, along with highly sophisticated alarms systems within our building, continues to be on going and never ending expense.

This yearly operating cost is prior to having us gifting donations to many Veterans less Fortunate than Us. Veterans support organizations that help and support Veterans in Need during the year.

Your help is greatly appreciated please make sure you open and read attachment.

For the American Legion Post #331 SHNJ, 08247!!!!
