AMERICAN LEGION POST 199

State Representative Fidler watched as mayor Sullivan and post commander Dale Taylor cut the ribbon this afternoon officially opening their new $1.2 million clubhouse to the public -- after being closed for six months construction. (Proceeds from kitchen and bar sales help fund veterans services there.)

Their adjacent 100+ year old building was severely damaged by hurricane Sally in 2020 -- and members decided to build a smaller clubhouse for club activities and member services -- while still planning to refurbish the old one when/if funding becomes available.

The Gillis Family Foundation made a vital contribution for construction, according to Taylor.

I use to be a member there before moving away from the area. They do a lot of great things to support veterans and the community.
Great BBQ meals during holidays.

Sad they let a historic building just fall in. They could have sold that property and moved to a much bigger place and banked a ton of cash. Now it needs to be knocked down for parking becuase that corner if dangerous. Matter of time before someone is killed there.
