American Legion Post 328, located in St. Joseph, is a charter post. This means Post 328 was organized and recognized in the first year the National American Legion was chartered by Congress. The American Legion supports many national and community-based organizations, including supporting the Boy Scouts and maintaining a relationship with the National Educators Association. Earlier this month, Post 328 showed support for St. Joseph’s Catholic School.
Dennis Weisbrich, commander; Terry Loso, gambling manager; and Dan Wippler, post home committee chairman, met with St. Joseph Catholic School Principal Sara Michaelson Jan. 6 to present a $5,000 check toward a school kitchen renovation project. Dan Wippler is also chairman of the St. Joseph Parish finance council. The American Legion had previously presented a $1000 check toward the project.
