New convention Facebook page launched

The American Legion has launched a new National Convention Facebook page. The page is designed to allow American Legion family members to share information about American Legion national conventions and interact with other Legionnaires who plan on attending the national convention.

The 2012 National Convention will take place Aug. 24-30 in Indianapolis, home of The American Legion National Headquarters. Leading up to the event, Facebook users are encouraged to share with us your favorite local spots in Indianapolis – dining, entertainment, historical or otherwise – on the page. Provide an insider’s perspective of the Hoosier State.

The page will also provide pertinent information about the national convention, such as hotel assignments, airfare discounts, and tourist attractions, as well as valuable links, an updated convention calendar, and whatever other items Legion members want to post regarding Indianapolis and this year’s national convention, as well as future national conventions.

Legion family members are encouraged to go to the page and click “Like.” So far, 373 Facebook users have “liked” the page.
