The Aberdeen post's annual fall fund raiser - or "Turkey Shoot" - will be Friday the 19th of October at the Legion post home.
Come out and join us for games of chance with great food prizes including steaks, bacon, sausage, and (of course) frozen turkeys. Games include bingo, show down, horse races, and various wheels, the cost to play varies from 50 cents to $5 per game, with games running continuously (as long as the table is full) until 10pm.
Proceeds from the night are used to support American Legion programs.
Riders chapter in Aberdeen
The Aberdeen Chapter of the American
Legion Riders meets on the THIRD THURSDAY of each month, at 7:00. The
Riders are members of the American Legion Family (The American Legion, the
American Legion Auxiliary, and the Sons of the American Legion), as well as
their spouses. Riders membership is regional, you can belong to any post,
squadron, or unit in the Department (South Dakota) and still ride with the
Aberdeen Chapter. The Riders are a program of The American Legion and the
sponsoring post, not a motorcycle club. While the Riders do share an
enthusiasm for motorcycle riding, the primary goal is still service to the
community, state, and nation. Feel free to read the chapter
by-laws for more information, or to write the post with any questions.
Sons of The American Legion
There is interest in starting a Squadron
of the SAL in Aberdeen, but more members are needed to charter one. SAL
membership is open to male descendants (including stepsons and adopted sons) of
Legionnaires, or of deceased veterans who were eligible for membership in The
American Legion - members can range in age from elementary school to
retirement.
The Sons can be a dynamic,
active part of both the post and the community at large, but only if a squadron
is started. If you are interested in helping to charter an SAL Squadron
in Aberdeen, please contact the post.
Future Department Conventions:
2019 Sioux Falls, June 6-9
Indianapolis, IN - AUG 23-29, 2019 100th Birthday of The American Legion)
