American Legion Family Day
April 28 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
American Legion Family Day at Post 201, (normally celebrated on the last Saturday in April) will be celebrated on Sunday, April 28th with an event-packed four hours between 1:00 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Post. Alpharetta’s Post 201 shifted this year’s Open House to Sunday in order to accommodate a sister veterans organization’s event being held at the Post on Saturday, April 27.
Planned activities for the afternoon include a cake walk, a scavenger hunt with ice cream prizes, two bounce houses (Spider Man and a 55-ft “wet” obstacle course), face painting (from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m.) and cornhole toss. Hot dog and hamburgers will be free for all attending until the supply is consumed.
Non-legion members visiting the Post on Family Day, will be considered guests of the Post. This will entitle those who are 21-or-older to purchase libations at member prices when they visit the Clubroom/Bar. The joint Auxiliary/SAL planning team is still considering additional activities for the afternoon.
More volunteers are always welcome. Just put the words “Family Day Volunteer in the subject line and send it to americanlegionalpharetta@gmail.com and we’ll find you!
History: The American Legion National Executive Committee unanimously passed a resolution at its meeting on Oct. 12 & 13, 2022 in Indianapolis which establishes American Legion Family Day to be observed annually on the last Saturday of April. It encourages Posts to open their doors to members of their community for a day and celebrate the accomplishments of Legionnaires, Sons of The American Legion members, and the American Legion Auxiliary.
