*RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
Wearing a face mask is required by an Executive Order of the Mayor of Smyrna. 
We are all in this together and that includes being selfish and keeping our germs to ourselves!
See the Mask Mandate below.
If you want to come for dinner but want to avoid the crowds, come at 5pm and enjoy an early (and quiet) dinner.  The Social Quarters begin to get crowded at 7pm. 

As a benefit to members and guests, Post 160 is conducting contact tracing therefore, EVERYONE must check-in at our health-check station, located in the entry hallway before enjoying activities at the Post. 

Post 160 is very appreciative of the Georgia Honor Guard and its members who help monitor the entrance to the Social Quarters.
If you are interested in helping staff the check-in station, reach out to Commander Lnenicka:

COME TOGETHER & SUPPORT
From Chaplain Sherm Bruce:
Our Post 160 family member and Veteran Chef David Shoffner has had his work week at the Post reduced from five days a week to only two.
In addition to this financial hit, his cancer has spread to his stomach.
To assist with his living and medical expenses, the Post has set up a GoFundMe. We ask you to donate as your heart leads.

American Legion Post 160 has a rich history and is, every day, building on the traditions of service in Smyrna and becoming a more dynamic place in the heart of Smyrna.   Legionnaires of Post 160 represent locally America's largest veterans service organization that works every day to uphold time-honored values of Service, Patriotism, and Camaraderie.  Post 160 is more than a building where people meet, and events are held - it is a family of volunteers serving the community.  Post 160 also hosts a Squadron of the Sons of the American Legion and a Unit of the American Legion Auxiliary.  All collaborate "steadfastly, side by side, promoting patriotism and national security while supporting youth and advocating for veterans and active duty military."
