Welcome to American Legion Post #58 in Fountain Hills, Arizona!

This site was created so our members can easily access important information about our post as well as the National Organization. Most importantly, though, these pages are created for everyone with a love for God and Country.

Message from the Commander:

It has been seven months since your current officers assumed duties. There have been some positive changes in the last seven months. There seems to be a lot more cooperation between folks. Every one is working for the benefit of the post. An example would be the Friday night Fish Fry. I must thank the SAL for all their efforts in this venture. Mark Creason, Bill and Marge Guilfoil, Lynn Melling along with Milissa and Rocky have been putting on a great dinner.

Wednesday night Slingo has been a great success. This is due to the efforts of Jim Pilon, your Junior Vice, who has led the charge with this event. I want to thank Jim's 'Slingo Slaves'who work to make the events happen. When we took office our mortgage was $209,306. Because of Slingo the post has been able to make back end payments to reduce the amount of the mortgage to $186,717.

The SAL last week held a Steak dinner that was open to the public. Again thanks to Mark Creason, Bill and Marge Guilfoil and Ben Van Etten, who cooked all the steaks, the post had another great event. The SAL sold over 200 streak dinners and made $1,000 that is going to the Wounded Warriors Charity.

This past weekend the post was open to the public for the Great Fair. Thanks to the Auxiliary we had some great food. Bridget Watkins cooked pulled pork that was the best I have tasted. She had a lot of help from Niaboi, Tina, and many others. Thanks to the planning committee and Jim Pylon we had some great music.

Euchre tournaments have started on Thursdays thanks to Jack Palleva and Horse shoes are played on Sundays thanks to the efforts of Tom Thompson.

There has been much time and effort put forth to make the post a fun and entertaining place to hang out. You should come in, join us and maybe give a little of your time to continue these successful events.

I am sure I have forgotten to mention some important volunteers. If you feel slighted I apologize. It was not intentional.

For God and Country
Commander Bob Schmitz
