Dorchester American Legion Post 264 has played a central role in our community for a century.
It's true. Following World War I, the veterans of Dorchester wanted to join the American Legion, a national organization for U.S. veterans. State Department Adjutant Frank B. O'Connell of Lincoln presided at the May 24, 1920, meeting to organize a Legion Post in Dorchester.
Now the Dorchester Legion is filling a void in our community by providing a place to socialize safely during COVID-19 on an evening when Dorchester's two restaurants are closed.
Starting Jan. 11, Dorchester's Legion hall will be open on Monday evenings from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. for refreshments. This will be a good opportunity for community members to catch up. New community members should swing by to introduce themselves. All are welcome!
Also, the Legion hall will be open Saturday mornings from 6 a.m. until 10 a.m. and Sunday mornings from 6 a.m. until noon. Legion members will be serving coffee, tea, and biscuits and gravy, giving area residents a great venue to socialize safely during the pandemic.
C'mon get happy. Be part of the community. Support your local Legion.
