Freeport Community Meeting / Superstorm Sandy Relief 

The regular meeting of the American Legion Post 342 scheduled for Wednesday, December 19, 2012 is cancelled.  Commander Paul Nehrich has directed that Legionnaires from the Post go to the Freeport Community Meeting / Superstorm Sandy Relief Update being held and directed by Mayor Andrew Hardwick at the Freeport Recreation Center on Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 6:30 pm. 

Mayor Hardwick will be giving updates regarding both State and Federal disaster aid for residents and businesses in Freeport.  The Mayor is also expected to give information regarding the process that citizens of Freeport will have to go through to get aid and how the Village of Freeport will help its citizens in that effort.

Commander Nehrich thanks all Legionnaires for their participation in community efforts to restore the Village of Freeport and its Citizenry to normalcy.

This is in keeping with our oath to "consecrate and sanctify or comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness."
