RENEW
The American Legion post for Bloomington was formed in 1947. For many years, it operated a club at 9320 Lyndale Ave. S. That club closed in 2007. The post these days operates at the Bloomington Veterans Club, 311 W. 84th St. and conducts charitable gambling at the Sports Page Bar & Grill and Shantytown Grill. The members determine what to give the funds to during their monthly meetings. Join us and be a part of the charitable donations.
Our post meetings are at 6:30 p.m. on the second Monday of every month.
The American Legion is a veterans organization dedicated to serving veterans and their communities.
