Trip to see Long Island Ducks Game 2016

Dear Post members, On Saturday July 30, 2016, the Post will be going to a Long Island Ducks baseball game, it is military appreciation night and there will be fireworks after the game. The cost of each ticket is $12.00 per person. The game starts at 6:30 pm. We will be meeting at the American Legion, Merrick Post 1282, at 3:00 pm for a complimentary lunch after which time we will car pool to the stadium. There is a limit of 30 tickets, so it is first come first serve. This event is open to EVERYONE, NOT just Post members. So bring your kids and grand kids. Make all checks out to the American Legion Merrick Post 1282 and send them to the Post with attention to: John Weber. If you have any questions contact John Weber at 516-223-5982. Post members who will be attending this game please try to wear your light blue American Legion short sleeved shirt to represent your Post at the game. Hope to see you at the game. Thank you.
