2416931-73881000 15th District Reports to D.E.C. MARCH 2021The 15th District of the Department of California is comprised of 14 Posts in Tulare and western Kern County. Within those Posts, there are seven Sons of The American Legion Squadrons and five American Legion Riders Chapters. There are also seven American Legion Auxiliary Units in the District. According to the latest membership report dated 3/5/2021, the 15th District stands 3rd amongst the 30 Districts, having achieved 93.83% of its membership goal. The 15th District is also 2nd amongst the 5 Districts in Area 3. Fellows Post 63 in Taft has achieved 100% of its goal, with Sierra Post 785 in Visalia achieving 140.16% of its goal.All 14 Posts within the 15th District have submitted the Department mandated forms. There are no Posts within the District on probation/suspension.The 15th District has been meeting in person, adhering to social distancing guidelines and face covering requirements. The pandemic has been particularly challenging. I have visited as many posts as possible during my term. However, I have been limited on visits due to the current restrictions. Most Posts in the 15th District occupy County owned buildings, which remain closed. In the interim, I try to stay in contact with each Post Commander within the District by conducting “Buddy Checks.” The 15th District Constitution & Bylaws have been rewritten. They had not been updated since 2003. The new Bylaws were approved by the Department of California Constitution & Bylaws Committee on 02/23/2021.I continue to invite Sons Squadrons and Riders Chapters to each District meeting. This is done in hopes to further their understanding of The American Legion, as well as getting their respective members interested in leadership roles in their organization and The American Legion, as appropriate.For God and CountryTony D.
