CPRs due July 1

Spring Meetings. American Legion commission and committee members, and National Executive Committee members, will meet in Indianapolis, May 8-11, for The American Legion’s annual Spring Meetings. Legion leadership will discuss membership updates and other priorities, as well as announce the 2017 Eagle Scout of the Year recipient and the Legacy Scholarship recipients. Follow coverage of the meetings at www.legion.org.

CPRs due July 1. The 2016-2017 Consolidated Post Report (CPR) is available on www.mylegion.org on on the left-hand side under “Member/Post Processing,” as well as on www.legion.org/publications. The CPR is an opportunity for posts to document every activity they fulfilled in a 12-month (June 1-May 31) reporting period – whether it’s providing funeral honors, hosting Memorial Day or Veterans Day ceremonies, sponsoring youth to attend a Legion program, conducting fundraising efforts and more. Reports are due to National Headquarters by July 1.

Recruiting. Legion members who recruit three new members for the 2017 membership year are encouraged to share their success with National Headquarters in order to be recognized. Fill out and submit the new member form at www.legion.org/commander/pin and receive National Commander Charles E. Schmidt’s “Carry the Legacy Forward” pin.
