Our projects include:

We partner with Lecanto High School and contribute time and funds to assist in the development of our future soldiers. 

We sponsor a deserving high school junior to attend this program.  Boys State is among the most respected and selective educational programs of government instruction for U.S. high school students.  At Boys State, participants learn the rights, privileges and responsibilities of franchised citizens. The training is objective and centers on the structure of city, county and state governments and is operated by students elected to various offices.

We have a fund to be used for the exclusive of helping a Veteran who has fallen on hard times and is in need of temporary help 

We  hold 4 Flag Retirement Ceremonies per year, several Remembrance Ceremonies, (i.e. 09/11, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, D-Day, etc).

We host the Bloodmobile at our Post every 2 months. In addition to whole blood donations , several of our members opt to donate platelets and double reds.
