Anderson Post 318
marks American
Legion Day with Community
Covenant
|
|
Anderson American Legion Post 318
celebrated American Legion Day with the
2nd annual signing of a community
covenant. The community covenant is a
document that provides for the American
Legion's "commitment to community service"
and for community organizations,
businesses and government leaders to
"commit to supporting our nation's
veterans and military personnel and their
families."
American Legion Day, September 16th, is
selected for executing this covenant as it
coincides with the date the American
Legion organization was formed in 1919.
The community covenant embodies the
principles and purpose of the American
Legion and presents an excellent
opportunity to educate the community's
organizations, businesses and local
government with what services the Legion
provides through its many veterans, school
and community programs. Anderson Post
318's first community covenant in 2010 was
between the American Legion, Post 318 and
the Anderson Township government. Anderson
Post 318 has served the Anderson Township
community since it's chartering on May 9,
1939.
The recently executed 2nd community
covenant has been broadened to include
numerous other entities. Those local
community entities signing the 2011
community covenant are: the Anderson
Township Fire Department; Anderson
Township Park District; Anderson Senior
Center; Hamilton County Sheriff's Office
District 5; Forest Hills School District;
PNC Bank; Mercy Health; Superior Home Care
/ New England Club; Mt. Washington Care
Center; Kroger (Anderson Towne Center);
and Ohio State Representative Peter
Stautberg. Signing the covenant on behalf
of the American Legion were Ohio Commander
Robert Klostermeier and Anderson Post 318
Commander Don Bishop.
This year's American Legion Day
community covenant signing was coordinated
by Post 318 Commander Don Bishop and Joe
Baker, who chairs the Post 318 Community
Support Committee.
