American Legion Post 605

“Members of Post 605 pay dues annually and meet the second Tuesday each month. During meetings, members discuss issues affecting the Post. Members decide how the Post spends its money, choose organizations that will receive donations and designate the amounts each will receive.”

“Members choose and vote on their slate of officers each May. Members also can submit their names as candidates for one of the six officer positions at the Post.”

“Governing body decisions are made by the Post Executive Committee, made up of six officers. The Executive Committee meets the first Monday of each month. Most decisions made by the Executive Committee, including all those involving finances, are enacted after they are voted on by the entire membership.”

“Members of the Executive Committee were provided a draft of Form 990 prior to filing. The CPA preparing the return was present to go through each section of the form with the Committee, answer questions and make changes if needed. Members approved the draft in order that Form 990 could be filed.”

“Post 605 makes its governing documents, policies, financial statements and Form 990 available to its members and the public. Requests can be made verbally or in writing to a member of the Executive Committee.”
