 UPCOMING MEETINGS

Mango Tasting

July 11th, 2021 2:00pm

Social Hour @ 1:00pm

Mango Tasting Event. Please join us for our first Mango Tasting Event since July 2019. Along with the tasting, we will have a panel of expert members to answer your rare fruit questions. We hope to see a lot of familiar and new faces alike.

We need volunteers to cut fruit. Please contact Cora at 727… 403 1756 if you’d like to volunteer to help. Please bring your own knife and show up early!

Bring a dish to share for the buffet table and be sure to bring an edible plant for the raffle. Get raffle tickets–win a plant!

Please note: American Legion Post 111 has two parking lots, a small lot for its bar and a larger lot adjacent to Flora St for the event hall. Our entrance is accessible only from the larger lot.

The Legion’s parking lot is not directly accessible from Florida Ave, but it can be seen to the right of the main event hall. You can access parking by either turning onto Flora St from Florida Ave or by turning onto Dearborn Ave from Sligh Ave.

COVID-19: The policy of Legion Post 111 is that mask usage is up to individual discretion. Please do not attend if you are sick.
