Unfortunaly, we did not hit the 100% by Nov 15th, therefore our Post will not receive the $100 award from Department HDQ's.  For those that have not renewed, please renew online or send in your  $25 check to our Adjutant Toby Reynolds 2117 Waterbury Ln West, Sycamore, IL. 60178

SEE YOU THEN

Fish and Chicken Dinner All You Can Eat.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Maple Park Post 312 held it's annual Veterans Day Commanders Dinner on Saturday, November 9th at the 312 Post Home in Maple Park.  The dinner was well attended with many of our active members and their spouses.  Special awards were presented to a few outstanding members. Pictured above from left to right, Marlene Turk received a Certificate of Appreciation for here support throughout the year in generating funds for the Maple Park Fun Fest. Her husband Jim Turk for his never ending work that he does for our Legion Post day after day. And our Legionnaire of the Year, Roger Kahl. Roger is one of the members that is always there whenever and wherever he is needed. His volunteer work not only for the Legion but for the community of Maple Park, the Lions Club, the church and so much more is exemplary.

It is with a sad heart that I report the passing of one of our long time and very active members.  Dick Hedlund has been an active member of American Legion Post 312 for 24 years and served as our Sergeant at Arms.  Dick served in the U.S. Marines during the Korean conflict.  He grew up and lived his entire life in the Fox Valley and raised his family in St. Charles on Empire Rd.  Dick has three wonderful sons, Joe, Jimmy and Jared and also grandchildren.  He will be sorely missed.

Funeral arrangements will be handled by Conley Funeral Home in Elburn. Please visit there website for visitation and funeral dates and times.

All Members of Post 312

We have learned of an Internal Revenue Manual that sets a new standard for documenting our member’s dates of service and character of service. IRS auditors reportedly are starting to fine Legion posts around the country for not keeping records of veterans’ DD-214 or documents that show them eligible to be members. The penalty for not having the proof of eligibility is, apparently $1000.00 per day.
